[Tex/LaTex] vim-latex problem on Windows

vimwindows

I'm using vim with cygwin on Windows XP. I have Miktex install and I can compile files using Texmaker for example.

However, I'd like to use vim with the vim-latex suite. When I type 

:echo Tex_CompileRule_dvi

It just gives me an error. However when I type

:!latex -interaction=nonstopmode %

I'm able to compile it. So it seems that vim doesn't recognise that I have vim-latex installed on my machine. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have figured out the problem. I copied all the files to ~/vimfiles as described in the installation instructions. However, when I made this ~/.vim then it started working. So I guess, if you're using vim-latex suite on Cygwin then you have to have .vim directory rather than vimfiles.
