<p class="tightenable bottom">Probably, the .vimrc you are editing is not the one that Vim is loading on startup.  Execute the command <code>:scriptnames</code> to find out what scripts have been loaded, and from where.  Make sure the .vimrc appearing there is the one you are changing.  For more information on how Vim finds a .vimrc, read <code>:help .vimrc</code>.</p>
</li>
<li class="tightenable bottom"><p class="tightenable top">Certain the correct .vimrc is being read, and it still doesn't work?  Read on!</p>
<p class="tightenable">If your problem is a particular setting (eg tabstop), do <code>:verbose set [option]?</code> to find out what the current value is and where where that value was last set from.  Modelines and scripts which run after .vimrc can trip you up in this way.</p>
<p class="tightenable bottom">If the problem setting isn't an option, it is a little more difficult to determine where the setting is coming from. You can try starting Vim with the <code>--noplugin</code> command-line argument to narrow down the search.  If you still have problems, start Vim with <code>--noplugin -D</code> to step through all the startup scripts (this can be tedious).  If you are running a GUI version, debugging only starts after the GUI is up.  Put a <code>gui</code> command in your .vimrc to fix this; it will start the debugging right after that command, and let you step through .vimrc.</p>
