newbie problem with Xilinx tutorial

[Dave]

Hi all -

I'm just getting started with Xilinx FPGAs and I'm having a problem getting
the built-in Xilinx tutorial to run under ISE 8.1.03i.

I've tried their "tech support" (filed a case) but its been two weeks today
and the "tech" is not "supporting".

I'm running Windows XP Media Edition (SP2), 3.0GHz, 1GB, etc. This is the
downloaded Webpack.

Everything in the tutorial ran fine until I got to the "Create a
Self-Checking Test Bench Waveform" section. When I tried to double-click
the "Generate Expected Simulation Results", I get the following errors:

Running Fuse ...
Parsing "counter_tbw_gen.prj": 0.14
ERROR:Simulator:170 - work/counter/Behavioral is not compiled properly.
Please recompile work/counter/Behavioral in file
"C:/projects/Xilinx/tutorial2/counter.vhd" without -incremental option.
ERROR:Simulator:199 - Failed when handling dependencies for entity
counter_tbw, architecture testbench_arch

I followed the tutorial exactly. Where is the "-incremental" option
specified and how do I disable it?

Has any one else seen this problem?

TIA.

Dave

Never mind... I found the problem after extensive checking and tests.
