Based on your reply. Here are some questions:

1) Is the other computer where it works a Vista 32 machine?

2) Are you using the old IDE? Are you able to use the new Software Build Tools for Eclipse?

Suggestions:

1) If you really are using Nios II IDE, try the Software Build Tools for Eclipse instead.

2) Quit the GUI, remove the workspace, and re-create the count_binary project.

3) Try hello_world to see if it works.

4) If you are comfortable with the idea, try temporarily disabling your McAfee. The account I have says that McAfee version ~8.0 was present when the problem happened. The solution was to upgrade to McAfee version ~8.5. This report was a while ago, so I suspect you are long past version 8.0 by now.
