Programming Cyclone II with DE2 board

I'm currently trying to program a simple Verilog file that turns on an LED when the switch is triggered, but Quartus is giving me an error:

Error (209014): CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in device 1

I've selected the correct chip type (EP2C35F672C6N), and it compiles correctly, and my board is in PROG mode. Is there anything else I'm doing wrong with it?

    That error message is a JTAG programming error message I believe.

    I don't have a DE2, but if it's like the DE0, the PROG mode switch switches it so you are talking to the Active Serial flash device. So you program that with the POF file. If you want to talk to it via JTAG, it's left in RUN mode.

    The other possibility is you have a bad USB Blaster. They are have transceivers on their outputs that can be damaged if ever over-voltaged, or left connected to the board when not connected to a USB power source.
