Lets first check if the board is showing up correctly.
On your Windows XP machine, start the device manager, i.e., Start->Control Panel->System, and then click on the Hardware tab, and then the Device Manager button.
Scroll down to the USB controllers section at the bottom.
If I plug my BeMicro in, then I see 'Arrow USB-Blaster Port A' and 'Arrow USB-Blaster Port B'. These are the two ports on the FTDI FT2232 device that is used to implement the Arrow USB-Blaster.
If you do not see this, then it is a driver installation issue, and has nothing to do with Quartus. Follow the Arrow USB-Blaster installation instructions again, and see if you can get the drivers installed ok.
Make sure you do not have any other FTDI devices installed, eg. a USB-to-serial adapter.
Cheers,
Dave

I won't be able to access my Win XP machine till tomorrow. But as far as I can remember, the drivers were appearing just as you described there. Apparently, they were successfully installed. And I tried installing them again.
So it must be something about Quartus?

I presume, you followed the
bemicro embedded system lab instructions and executed setup.exe to install
jtag_hw_arrow_usb_blaster.dll before performing the Quartus hardware setup?

Those are exactly the instructions that I am following. And what exactly is Quartus hardware setup?
