Dumb question: are you saying that the usb blaster doesn't appear in the pop-up list to select the hardware in "Currently selected hardware"?

And what does it look like in Device Manager? Maybe the driver needs to be reinstalled.

    In Device Manager, it's ok, driver installed and named "Altera USB-Blaster". But it doesn't appear in the pop-up list ("Currently selected hardware").

    I've reinstalled the driver (many times) and even tried one for win7 (suggestion of another forum).

    Is there any step after driver installation or just "see" it in the Quartus'Hardware Setup?
