What is the current value of `transient-mark-mode' - not just the setting in your .emacs? If transient-mark mode is active and you have an active region, and it doesn't appear highlighted, then check (via `list-faces-display') to see if face `region' is actually something noticeable. What do you see when you try emacs -Q? That will tell you whether the problem is from Emacs itself or from your .emacs.
