compiler error

I'm running windows xp - arduino uno - arduino 1.0.3 - I can not upload a program or even compile a simple sketch. The compiler starts (green Bar) but then I get an error.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\arduino\arduino-1.0.3\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++ returned 3
