Update Memory Initialization File Problem!!!

When i want to Update Memory Initialization File ..

Processing -> Update Memory Initialization File

this error always appears: Found no memory initialization files to process

But the files are there!!! i create them with quartusII 9.1 sp1 ... but it doesn't recognize them =/ i'm crazy about it!! i just wanna simulate a ram memory... i'm using Max II, the memory compiles, i create the Memory initialization file and OK, but i can't update the memory!!!!!

When i do it with a ROM memory, everything is ok =/ i need your help, the simulation is a homework for college.. Thanks!

    I observed that if you're using "altsyncram" provided by Altera you have to put the correct path in the right place:

    Example:

    altsyncram_component : altsyncram

    GENERIC MAP (

    ...

    init_file => "Memory/memory_file.mif",

    ...

    Remember this: the path should consider that the project directory is the "root directory". So if your ".mif" is in "c:\Altera\Project\Memory\memory_file.mif" and your project directory is in c:\Altera\Project, so above is the right way to describe.

    So, fix it and do this again (Processing -> Update Memory Initialization File).
