John,

ISE 6.1i was updated to VITAL2000 in order to get faster and more
accurate timing on the libraries, especially for the RAM models.
ModelSim did not support VITAL2000 until their 5.6 release (they are
currently at 5.8) so you need at least that release to simulate a
current ISE design. You have the choice of either upgrading your
simulator or downgrading your ISE tool but the two need to follow
somewhat in sync in order to get the best features of both.

Wish I had better news for you.
