Unable to import into Maya 2013

I recently installed Maya 2013 on a new laptop. I am able to open previous files no problem but when ever i try to import any type of file it gives me this error.

“ Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2013/scripts/others/fromNativePath.mel line 90: (unicode error) ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode characters in position 9-13: ordinal not in range(128) #

I tried reinstalled and it did not fix the problem. These files worked on my other laptop with same version of maya no problem.
I am still new to the software so I am not sure what else to do.
Thanks,

Xol

Appears a solution is to change your project folder. Hope it helps.
