The first thing to check would be the output of

:scriptnames

to see what Vim thinks it's been loading. Just looking at the
output, you might spy the guilty startup script, but if not, you
can paste the contents in response to this to get extra sets of eyes.

In theory, removing the $HOME\_vimrc *should* provide you with a
fairly stock Vim with no enhancements. Vim should run just fine,
as you see.
