ALT PLL GUI MESSDED UP ON INVOCATION
Hi All ALTERA Experts, I have a problem setting up a new PLL due to the GUI looking like the mess you can see in my attached screenshot. I am using Quartus Standard edition Version 25.1 I am on a windows 10 machine and all of the other IP GUIs seem to work fine, its just this PLL IP GUI that seems to get messed up. I am using a MAX10 FPGA. Both my PC and Graphics card are working fine. Can anybody suggest why this occurs ? Thanks, Barry
