Thanks Ben. I installed gvim-7-4-256.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/
It was installed with the default _vimrc file.
But it made no difference.

Attached are three screen shots of what my vimdiff is doing.
Here is the weird part: after opening a.txt in vimdiff and closing vimdiff (I did not save or do anything while in vimdiff), I open a.txt shows that a.txt is empty.

Otherwise vim works normally.
