can't control color options

[Ben Kaplan]

I have a particular color scheme that I'd like to use however, vim does not find my .vimrc file, nor the associate color.vim file that I have set in my home directory.

I'm using vim (7 something) running on cygwin.  the vim.exe file is found and works, its just my settings that are not honored.

From cygwin commandline, vim finds all my settings.

Thanks for your help.

As a workaround, try to set the paremter vim location in the vim-preference page to "/your/path/to/vim.exe -u /your/vimrc"

Then I tried this and it works: "C:/tools/cygwin/bin/vim.exe" -u "C:/Documents and Settings/jvaca/.vimrc"
