Is there a limit to how big the comparison files can be. I'm running a diff on my registry backup file and all I get is that they differ, but no other output, the file is about 48 Megs.
If the files contain a bunch of non-ASCII text, try using the -a / --text option to force diff to process them. Newer versions of diff might also have a --speed-large-files option which could help.
