Dunno your previous setup configuration, but your username contains an
extended accented character which will make the life of any non-
unicode application hard.

To workaround this I suggest you set HOME environment variable to
something different than Documents and Settings, since will have the
same problem.

Also, do not mess with USERPROFILE since ti serve other purpose beside
being used by applications, USERPROFILE is the place Windows stored
the ntuser part of registry, which I suggest you stay away from it :-)
