Error: Connected system ID hash not found on target at expected base address

I fixed this problem on my machine. The tutorial files worked, but if I modified enough things from them, the FPGA would not program right. I ended up deleting all of the altera settings folders located in my home directory (C:\users\<username>) and restarting the program letting quartus recreate the folder from default. It seems to have evened out the missing ID problem for me.
