According to the Altera website, there is no legacy version 9.2sp2. Is that a typo and you really have 9.1sp2?

That being said, that is ~really~ old (released Nov 2009). Any reason why you are using such an old version?

I use 13.0sp1 to support my older Terasic boards (Cyclone II based) and then 16.0 for my newer Cyclone IV and V boards. Haven't moved to 16.1 or 17.0 yet because no reason to.

I run on a Windows 7sp1 64b system and have no USB Blaster problems at all programming a DE1 and DE0-NANO boards, and using a discrete Terasic USB Blaster clone.
