Thank you. I will resort to buying Blaster II cables if I must. But is there a similar certificate fix for the USB Blaster Cables? I already purchased two USB Blaster for $600. The current drivers that are causing the problem came from the Quartus Programmer 20.1.1.720 downloaded last week. Does this release contain the most up to date drivers?
