USB-Blaster problem, nios2-configure-sof works but download doesnt.

Hello i am having problems with the USB Blaster in my new notebook, i can use nios2-configure-sof and everything works allright (even thought it takes a long time) but when i try to download the software via the ECLIPSE interface it stays for ever at 61%, then it says that i should run jtagconfig and there is a problem in my quartus installation.

However my quartus installation is okay, so is my driver.. When i try to run by the NIOS2-SHELL with nios2-download -g it says that the it downloaded the elf but when i type nios2-terminal i get a I/O error communication with the target.

I am using W7 Home premium 64 bits and Quartus II 11.0

    I guess it was using the wrong driver, i pointed to the usb-blaster directory in the x64 and it was using the x32 folder driver instead of the x64...

    Well guess it's a bug
