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???

You do realize you are responding to a 7 year old post?
That being said, this is a USER forum, not a forum maintained by Altera/Intel employees. So expecting to get instantaneous support here, especially when you throw an attitude, is not likely.
Are you using a true Altera stand alone USB Blaster, or an integrated one on a development board? What version(s) of Quartus are you using? What version of Windows OS?
Does Windows report that the USB device is recognized and that the driver is installed?
The more info you provide up front the better answers you will get to any questions you ask.
When you just come in here with a lousy attitude you are not going to get much sympathetic help.
