The most obvious thing I would recommend reconfirming is that you have been installing "Altera Starter Edition", not "Altera Edition".

I have Modelsim-ASE installed on WinXP on several machines and have not seen this type of issue.

Perhaps you can try installing VirtualBox, install WinXP, and then install Modelsim-ASE.

You could also file a Service Request directly with Altera and perhaps they might have some other debug suggestions.
