First (and this goes out to anyone submitting reports like this) is provide as much info as you can about
your system setup and what you were doing. Without that info few if any constructive comments can
be given. The first questions will always be your system config/version, quartus version, and device.
So what version of OS are you using? Be specific.
Version of quartus you stated, so good there.
What device are you compiling for?
Without any other info my only suggestion would be to do an uninstall/reinstall of Quartus and device support and retry.
