Yes. You've already pretty much ruled out your .vimrc, so next check if the problem is in your plugins by starting Vim with:

gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE

(technically this turns off both your plugins and your .vimrc, plus it sets nocompatible mode)

Then, enter your autocmds, and the one plugin you may need. I assume your problem will go away. The usual advice after that would be to enable half your plugins and do a "binary search" for the offending plugin.

But if you don't have very many, it may be faster do debug directly. Instead of :enew do :debug enew

Then enter 's' (step) and/or 'n' (next) until you see where the heck your commenstring gets overwritten. Then go zap that line.
