Can't access anything in MegaWizard Plug-In Manager

I was hoping to use the MegaWizard to implement an FIR filter but when I open the tool there is nothing listed under IP MegaStore and it fails to update. I have tried using a different browser but no luck. I am using Quartus II 9.0sp2 Web Edition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

the FIR should be in the DSP section of the MegaWizard, you don't need to go to the MegaStore

Hmmm, something seems amiss with the MegaWizard, when I launch it there doesn't seem to be any installed plug-ins. I am using a Cyclone II eval board and was really hoping to implement (easily) an FIR filter.

sounds like something went wrong in your install. check c:\altera\9.0sp2\ip\altera (or similar directory), there should be a few dozen ip cores in there

Thanks pancake, I found the ip cores in that directory. Unfortunately, however, I am still unable to access them via the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager. I have attached a screenshot of the manager showing no ip cores

check in the ip directory for root_wizard.lst and in ip/altera for altera_components.ipx. i think one of these is what the MegaWizard parses to know what IP is installed
