Hi all,

I' ve a similar problem with Quartus 2 Web Edition Version 10.1 on winxp and on win7(64-bit)

I've installed only cyclone II device family (i'm working on it) and when i start the New Project Wizard, the error message is:

Quartus II Settings File contains an illegal device family -- using default device family Cyclone IV GX"

but then the wizard lets me choose the right device...what's wrong?
