What is wrong with my Quartuss 7.1?

I am puzzled by Quartuss 7.1 .The project runs well in Quartuss 5.1,but when i create the same project in Quartuss 7.1,it always shows me error messages

Eg. the name of project is clkdiv,when compilated ,it shows errors:

Error: Tcl error: wrong# args: should be "source fileName"

while executing

"source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl"

Error: Fail to evaluate Tcl command source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl

Error: Quartus II EDA Netlist Writer was unsuccessful. 2 errors, 0 warnings

Error: Quartus II Full Compilation was unsuccessful. 2 errors, 8 warnings

when i try oher projects,it shows the same errors.

I don't know what happened.Who can help me?

Thank you very much!

    Hi..

    Compile your code once again and then put cursor on your error then press "F1".

    Thanks you very much,shah!

    I tried and the help gives me the following message

    cause: you ran a tcl command or script but the quartus ii software incurred the specified error.

    action: check the error message to determine the cause, fix the problem, and try running the tcl command or script again.

    I don't know what's wrong with it.

    The error occurs because the directory name is specified with a space in it (i.e. the "program files" directory). This can be fixed by adding quotes around the entire filepath.

    Try:

    source "e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl"

    Instead of:

    source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl
