Hi Alex,

This may not be a kit problem specifically. Open the Quartus programmer and try to find the USB-Blaster and scan the JTAG chain. If you can't select it from the Hardware Setup, that's probably the main issue. The most reliable workaround I've found is installing the Quartus 11.1 stand alone programmer. I've seen problems before with the JTAG/USB Blaster will 12.0 installations.

Hope this helps.
