up guessing what's wrong with your system.

It seems that you don't have the w32api package.  you will have to install

Perhaps not.  Where are you invoking vim, from rxvt or from a DOS-type

You probably have to set up the vim config file /usr/share/vim/vimrc and 
add the following:

set nocompatible
