programmer only sees ethernet blaster, not usb blaster

hi evryone, am a complete newbie. I run quartus II on win7 x32, but programmer only sees 'ethernet blaster' at 'add hardware', usb blaster is not present at all. There is already a usb blaster folder...

Apparently there are High Priests who know the solution to this problem and will not share it with the user community. I am sick and tired of playing Quartus II Roulette to find a driver which works.

Why is it when I finally get this working, on another day it fails again?

Yes, I have plugged and unplugged the cable. Yes, I have reinstalled that driver. Yes, I see the USB-blaster in device manager.

Why doesn't anyone have a REAL solution to this problem? Does anyone from Altera read this stuff? Does anyone there actually care? Do they want to sell silicon???
