JTAG stop working

I don't know why the JTAG stoped working ... I'm using Microtronix's Cyclone EP1C20.

When I try to upload to the board, I got these messages :

- inside Nios SDK 5.0.1 Build: 86, uploading the kernel :

Error: Can't scan JTAG chain. Error code 87.

I have tryed to auto-detect the hardware in the Quartus II Programmer, and it say to me :

Unable to scan device chain. Can't scan JTAG chain.

I dont remember where these showed up too:

Error: Can't access JTAG chain

Error: Operation failed

I dont know what to do. I have tryed to set the jumpers back to the default, as is in Cyclone Data Sheet. Everything seems normal. I can not upload the Kitchen_sink core, because the erros of JTAG http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif , so I can&#39;t test it.

Any suggestions ??

Regards.

Arthur.
