win2003 report an error every reboot if installed QuartusII on a pc without parallel port. the error is:
The Altera ByteBlaster service depends on the Parport service which failed to start because of the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
then you can disable the alterabyteblaster service to stop the error reporting. but you can't find the alterabyteblaster services in services which are listed in services window. so you need the command line to disable or enable the service as following.
sc config ALTERABYTEBLASTER start= disabled (please pay attention to the space after the "=" mark)
