I use vim 6.4 all day at work and haven't noticed anything strange, the 
edit in vim context menu is always there for me.

If you look in your vim directory under program files, (in the vim64 
folder I belive), you'll see a directory entitled indent, (or something 
like that).  There should be a file in there like ruby.vim.  I'm pretty 
sure this is where the indentation for ruby is controlled from.

I do this by inserting the lines
set shiftwidth=2
set tabstop=2
set softtabstop=2
set expandtab

in the aforementioned ruby.vim in the indent directory
