Strange problem with Quartus II

I had added my LCD thing sucessfully, and then had a problem with my Quartus II project. After I wrote some new lines of code, I hit compile, and I got 

 

Error (10170): Verilog HDL syntax error at CII_Starter_Default.v(15) near text "("; expecting an identifier, or "module", or "macromodule", or "function", or "parameter", or "primitive", or "real", or "realtime", or "reg", or "specparam", or "supply0", or "task", or "time", or "tri", or "tri0", or "tri1", or "triand", or "trior", or "trireg", or "wand", or "wire", or "integer", or "localparam", or "(*", or "config", or "include", or "library" 

 

And when I look at the Project Navigator Hierarchy, there was just the top level. When I run the programmer It does load the last sucessful compile into my starter board, so I know I am still in the right project. 

 

I am sure this is something easy with Quartus II, any ideas? Could I possibly have more "end"s then "Begin"s or something like that?
