USB Blaster should not show up as "serial converter".  Did you try following Intel's instructions: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/download/usb-blaster.html

Yep, I already tried still not working.My USB-Blaster hardware IDs compared to driver SW content are different.So the driver couldn't recognize this device.I appreciate your help and time.PS:My USB-Blaster ID:USB\VID_0403&amp;PID_6001The driver recognizes ID:USB\VID_09FB&amp;PID_6001
