Xilinx has many FPGA kits. Which one do you have?

I'm guessing you are using Xilinx ISE iMPACT software and the Xilinx Parallel Cable IV. Correct?

iMPACT displays a lot of confusing messages as it searches the parallel port, USB port, and the JTAG chain. If you show us all the messages, maybe someone can see what's going wrong.

Please use a more descriptive message subject than "help needed".

Do you have power on you board?
How clean is a power supply?

I get this message quite often, but my problem is mainly due to the JTAG flylead not connected properly.
