With the DE2 board powered and the USB cable connected to both it and your PC, does device manager detect the USB-Blaster on the DE2 board? With device manager open you should be able to plug and unplug the USB-Blaster cable to the DE2 board and see a USB-Blaster appear and disappear accordingly.

Providing device manager can 'see' the USB-Blaster then any higher level software, such as the DE2 board programmer, should be able to use it.
