I was trying to help someone and had similar problem with two sets of
vector data. Tried all these methods and failed.When I searched the
net to find an answer, I found many people have similar problem.What
about some one actually showing how to do this with a data set and
posting it as a tutorial (with screen shots) some where. I do not
have the data set that I was playing with. Thank youThiru(I am 70

Unfortuantely, there is no easy way to discover the reasons for not overlapping.

If it is about 100m, this is most likely a datum shift issue.

Google/Web Mercator datasources may shft to about 20km vertically if the transformation method is wrongly implemented (like EPSG:3395).

If the images are totally off, most probably projection definitions have been simply exchanged instead of doing a correct coordinate reprojection. Comparing the layer extent is the best to sort this out.
