    Which device did you use ? Did you use some special IP blocks ? When you have an old sof-file, there must be an older successfull Quartus run. Is the run also done with a Web edition ?

    Kind regards

    I am using VIP cores, the device I qould like to configure is a cyclone2.

    Yes, there are old sof-file, on the first compilation I get correct results.

    The previous run is also done with a quartus2 web edition.

    Someone (sys admin) just set up and configured a Sophos Antivirus.

    I'tried to uninstall and reinstall the quartus, but still the same problem.

    Maybe I didin't search the registry.

    Well, It was like the pogram hadn't write permissions, or any sectors oh the hard drive where damaged.

    I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled quartus and windows, it seems to work all properly now.
