I suggest using

let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex --src-specials --interaction=nonstopmode $*'

included in your %PATH% settings. In windows, the %PATH% setting is
changed in "Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environement Variables".

This needs to be updated. It should have been Tex_RunLaTeX.
