Quartus II 13 problem! bumping on this one

Hi guys can someone figure out why Quartus II gives me the following error messages without me assigning anything to the .qsf file:

Error message is below:

Error (125048): Error reading Quartus II Settings File C:/altera_trn/VHDL_uppgift_4e/VHDL_uppgift_4e.qsf, line 41

    Without the qsf file it's a bit hard to determine, but I'm guessing line 41 looks like:

    set_global_assignment -name EDA_TEST_BENCH_MODULE_NAME "VHDL_uppgift_4e_vhd_tst " -section_id "VHDL_uppgift_4e_vhd_tst "

    It looks like it doesn't like the -section_id's for these guys.

    Try changing the lines to:

    set_global_assignment -name EDA_TEST_BENCH_MODULE_NAME "VHDL_uppgift_4e_vhd_tst "

    set_global_assignment -name EDA_NATIVELINK_SIMULATION_TEST_BENCH "VHDL_uppgift_4e_vhd_tst "

    set_global_assignment -name EDA_TEST_BENCH_NAME "VHDL_uppgift_4e_vhd_tst "

    and see if it helps.
