It is also possible that your USB-Blaster cable is broken ! Can you replace your USB-Blaster for test ? Kind regards GPK

You will need to power the board before you can program it.

i powered and grounded the board but still get the same error.Is there a chance the board is broken?..I connected the cpld directly to my computer without using the usb cable so the cable doesnt seem to be the problem.

There is a JTAG debug option in Quartus Programmer, it can be used to trace the JTAG signals down to the device pins, checking for any broken connection.

Its working now!I mistakenly connected a 3v source to the 5v pin of the CPLD and when i moved it to its proper 3v pin it worked and i am now able to program it again.I do however remember programming it without connecting any voltage source to it just the usb cable to the computer, so that seems odd.Anyway thanks for all your help!!..im gonna go smoke a fat joint now.

No original Altera or Terasic USB Blaster is sourcing a supply voltage to a device, cause it's designed to support a variable logic supply of 1.8 to 5.0 V. The only explanation is, that you had a user modified exemplar. MAX II, by the way, has a maximum supply and logic input voltage of 3.3 V, there are only some older EPM7xxx MAX devices working with 5V supply.
