error compiling

I have an uno and have successfully uploaded the software on my laptop.
I want to use it from my desk top so I have downloaded the programme, run it, plugged in the uno, written a program and tried to upload it .I get

avr-g++; CreateProcress: No such file or directory

in the box at the bottom
I have tried the same program on my laptop and it works.
I even loaded the bare minimum program from the examples on the desk top with the same massege.
I have checked all the settings are the same as the laptop (with the one difference, I am using com3 on the laptop and com4 on the desk top)
ie UNO AVRISP MkII etc.
I have done the loopback test suggested above and it works so I know the uno and the port are ok.
Can anyone tell what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Bob.
