Basically Im a bit out of my depth. I'm using cygwin on windows xp. The usb connection to the altera board only enumerates once in every ,say, 15 tries.

Even then the connection 'self test' fails to communicate with the wishbone.

I really need to move to a linux platform - its too complicated at the moment.

Thanks for showing an interest - I'm going to try something simpler first.JB.
