Hi Thank you for your response. But in Device manager, it shows only "USB Blaster" and nothing like "USB-BlasterII".

In the device manager window, the correct entry under universal serial bus controllers is: altera usb-blaster

The usb blaster ii is the name of the stand alone programming dongle. The rest of the instructions are correct, except for the device manager entry.
