Answers to a couple questions might help get you closer to a
solution:


- Are you running builds with "+diff" enabled? (check the output
of ":version") This is usually the case unless you're running a
minimal build.

- are you in "vimdiff" mode? You can find out by issuing

:set diff?

in each of the windows-to-diff to see whether Vim considers your
current vim-window a diff-window. This would be different from
editing a patch (*.diff) file.


- when you say the commands "[are] not working at all", what does
that mean? do they simply not jump to the previous/next despite
being able to see that there's a previous/next-change? Do they
perform some other action? Does the screen flash?


- do you see the same behavior with no startup files?

vimdiff -u NONE file_a.txt file_b.txt
or
vim -u NONE file_a.txt
:vert diffsplit file_b.txt


Hopefully these answers will help us figure out what's happening.
