Problem with SOPC Builder

Hello

I got a problem with SOPC-Builder v5.0.

I made a new Project in Quartus II v5.0, and added NIOS II cpu, OnChip Memory and Jtag UART in SOPC Builder. When I click on the generate button, an error occurs. I tryed the same thing on another computer and it worked, unfortunately it does not work on my computer http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif I get the following error message:

    Hi MrZol:

    I also had this problem some tiem ago and I think it&#39;s due to strange characters in your Windows user name. So try to change your user name using only international characters(ie, no ó or &#39;e or things like this).

    Good luck,
