Can not edit multiple files at the same time in MS Windows vim

Hello Vimmers, I'm a relatively new vimmer as well as a big fan of the
editor. I'm normally a gnu/linux user but I am forced to use windows at
school. For whatever reason I can not open multiple files at the same
time in vim, or switch between buffers. If I try to give vim multiple
file arguments when starting vim, it will just open up the first one
provided, if I try to navigate to the second file using 'n' I get the
error "There is only one file to edit." If I try to open up another
file in vim the current buffer is simply replaced with the new file. I
have read section 6 of the vim faq but I'm puzzled as to why I'm having
this issue. In the past, if I used 'e' to open a file it would open it
in a new buffer. Come to think of it, I'm having a similar issue now in
arch. Does anybody know the solution to my issue? Any help is
appreciated :)!
