Kernel mode Driver

[Altera_Forum]

Hi to all, 

 I am facing Problem regarding the quartus programmer. when i going to add hardware it doesnot show "lpt1" instead of that it is showing "kernel mode driver is not installed".   i have purchased the new PC which does not have parallel port installed in it, thus i have added a pci based parallel port card and installed the respected driver for it.   kindly help me to get rid of this situation   Warm Regards   Preet

Hello, everybody. 

 I have the same problem. As well as Preet i am using a PCI-based Parallel Port Card. I was able to connect a parallel printer to it (LPT1) and i was also able print with it.  So principially the parallel port is working fine.  In my mind the installation of the "Altera Byte Blaster" driver may be the basic problem. I followed the installation instructions on   http://www.altera.com/support/software/drivers/dri-index.html?gsa_pos=1&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=programming%20cable%20driver  but this didn't change something.  If anybody has an solution for the problem, i would really appreciate it.  Marc

Hi  

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?  I have encountered the same problem  Anyone has VMware intsalled on the machine?

Hello.  

 Can you check, if the following services are running?  parport.sys  parvdm.sys  To do so, just type the following in the command line:  sc query parport  sc queryc parvdm  If both services are running, you can try the following:  Goto .....\program files\Altera\80\quartus\drivers\i386  and execute bblpt.exe with the option /i  This should install the driver.  Thats just the answer, I got from the support. In my case it did not solve the problem. If one of the services fail, you have a problem that is not related to Altera software, i think.  Kind regards,  Marc
