Subject: Vim 7.3 - E10 Errors Editing _vimrc
Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:27:23 -0400

I just uninstalled Vim 7.2 and did a clean install of Vim 7.3.3 on Windows Vista using the binary from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files. I am using the _vimrc file I used with Vim 7.2. I now get dozens of E10 error messages when editing _vimrc (does not happen with other files, only _vimrc).
 
Help for E10 suggested setting nocp, but I already have 'set nocp' at the top of _vimrc. It also suggested removing the 'C' option from cpoptions. I tried adding 'set cpoptions-=C to the top of _vimrc, but this did not help either.
 
I tried indvidually commenting out the lines in _vimrc that source 'vimrc_example.vim' and 'mswin.vim' but neither made any difference.
 
At this point I'm rather stuck. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

 

Update: I have since discovered that the problem surfaces if the file has the extension '.vim' and one or more lines begin with a backslash. However, I still cannot isolate the origin of the errors.
