14 years agoUSB Blaster Vs. Blue screen of Death
Hey guys, so I have Windows 7 professional and when I am installing the drivers for the USB Blaster I get the blue screen with error message of memory dump. anyone having the same problem? I had windows 7 home premium and was told that was my problem because it was doing it as well then, and when I got Windows 7 Professional it kept doing it.

I've installed several (newer) versions under Windows 7 and have not seen issues. Cheers, Dave - Altera_Forum

Quartus does not require latest USB-blaster driver to work. You can install Quartus 9.1SP2 now. Do not reinstall USB-blaster. Bottom line,
1. Quartus 9.1SP2 for design entry 2. USB-blaster driver from 11.1SP2
