i used something like 

  /* set to free running mode */
  iowr_altera_avalon_timer_control (high_res_timer_base, 
            altera_avalon_timer_control_ito_msk  |
            altera_avalon_timer_control_cont_msk |
            altera_avalon_timer_control_start_msk);
  /* register the interrupt handler, and enable the interrupt */
    
  alt_irq_register (high_res_timer_irq, null, handle_timer_interrupt);

to program the highres timer in the standard example... it worked for me.
