It would be more helpful to know what plugins and non-standard settings you have. I'm going to guess that if you repeatedly try vim -u NONE ... it shouldn't give you any trouble. If it does, then there's something much shadier going on. If that works just fine, there's likely some mapping interfering with your command. I also presume that, if you type ":q!" in other programs, such as another text-editor or the command-shell, you have no problems (ruling out a flaky keyboard like the built-in one on my laptop here where the ZAQ1!<tab> cluster is broken). -tim
