What version of Vim? 7.4.103 fixes a problem with the diff expression in the 
default _vimrc you get from the installer. If you're using a 7.4 before patch 
103 then "out of the box" Vim diff will not work, the diffexpr will fail and no 
changes will be shown in the diff.

You can either install a new version ( 
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Where_to_download_Vim ) or manually fix your diffexpr 
in your _vimrc. The fix is that you don't need an extra set of quote characters 
(") around the entire external diff command call. You only need them around the 
path to the diff utility and each file argument.
