Ok, I read the error and made some erroneous assumptions.

You're going to need to dig a bit deeper.  I'm betting, and I'd bet a 
decent pot, that bjam is attempting to run a program using a path that 
contains "C:\Documents and Settings" but lacking the quotes.  I assumed 
that you extracted boost on your desktop or something.
