Quartus II V12.0 Blaster problem

I've just installed Quartus II V12.0. It seems to be working OK, but I can't get my device programmed with a USB Blaster clone, which worked fine with V11.1. The Blaster isn't recognised by the V12.0...

Thanks. I'm using Win 7 x64.

The main problem seems to be that I can't select the driver - if I uninstall it, unplug the Blaster and plug it in again, it immediately installs the same driver without giving me a chance to select a different one. According to the Altera instructions:

I should get the Found New Hardware dialog box, but I don't.
