Greetings,

I am running Vim version 7.3.154 on Ubuntu Oneiric.  I'm a newbie, and I
just set up a .vimrc file with the following commands:

     set nocompatible
     set hlsearch
     set incsearch
     set number
     set showmode
     set syntax=ON
     color elflord

All of the features I intended to set work like a charm, the problem is that
now every time I open a file in VIM, i get the following error:

filetype unknown
Press ENTER or type command to continue

It does this with all files I've tried to open, (.cpp, .c++, .txt and the
.vimrc itself)  It appears to me that the filetype.vim file should allow for
all these to be detected, but I don't know for sure what I am reading. 
Funny thing is, the syntax highlighting still works even though the filetype
is supposedly unknown. 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
