Hi,
I already posted my problem in the german section of 
mikrocontroller.net.
As it was a little bit unclear and a lot of content I want to reduce my 
concern:

I want to use a example from the Intel FPGA Monitor Program 18.1 and use 
it in Quartus 18.1. It is the video example, which creates a blue box on 
the HDMI output and writes a littel String with white letters on top of 
it.

I want to use it in Intel Quartus environment , do some test-outputs on 
my screen and finally add some more Hardware to the Avalon system. 
Unfortunately it doesnt work for me as i thought xD:

Test1: Open FPGA Monitor Program 18.1 - create new project - select 
video example - sof is downloaded on FPGA - compile & load video.c 
Result: works HDMI shows test-string

Test2: download .sof to FPGA - Eclipse for Nios - new project simple 
hello world with bsp -work with .sof-put video.c and address_map_nios2.h 
into project- use video.c as main, Result: works HDMI shows test-string

Test 3: do the same as Test2 , Result: random pixels in the first ~20 
lines

Test 4: reinstall FPGA Monitor Program 18.1 do the same as Test2 Result: 
works HDMI shows test-string

Test 5: do the same like Test2, doesnt work, do the same like Test4 
Result: random pixels in the first ~20 lines

Test 6: copy .elf from my FPGA Monitor Program 18.1 software directory 
into project folder, run this this elf Result: works HDMI shows 
test-string

Test 7: change something of the video.c of Test 6, Result: works HDMI 
shows test-string but without the blue box !

Test 8: do the same like Test2 Result: random pixels in the first ~20 
lines

Test 9: Check run configurations : select all combinations of processor 
and byte stream devices Result: random pixels in the first ~20 lines

Test 10: Switch to FPGA Monitor Program 18.1, compile & Load video.c 
Result: works HDMI shows test-string

Check: Description in 
https://home.isr.uc.pt/~jfilipe/files/Final_Project_Simplified_Tutorial.pdf 
( they do nearly the same...)

Check: Book EMBEDDED SoPC DESIGN WITH NIOS II PROCESSOR AND VERILOG 
EXAMPLES : They say: BSP Editor will get the sopcinfo file and support 
you with your access to the Hardware. Without configuring much

Check: Intel BSP documents : hey say: BSP Editor will get the sopcinfo 
file and support you with your access to the Hardware. Without 
configuring much

Check: Intel The Nios® II Processor: Hardware Abstraction Layer in 
youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF7Low_sUig

I suppose that something is wrong eather with my selected sopcinfo or 
with the BSP. Maybe you can give me some advice, tell me if you need 
more information ! :) Thank you :D

Here are some screenshots of my development environment:
