Thanks for the suggestion. You are correct in that an 'uninstall'
leave some files in the home directory as well as the "program files"
directory. This time, after uninstall, I went in to those directories
to manually delete any remaining vim files. Then I reinstalled 7.3.
Unfortunately the results were the same.

I'm beginning to suspect something in the Windows Registration area. I
used 'regedit' to find vim and gvim but nothing looked suspicious,
though I'm not sure I know what to look for.
