When I start it with `emacs -q`, region-highlighting is off; try using
M-x transient-mark-mode
to switch it on. If that works, put
(setq transient-mark-mode t)
in your .emacs file and try again. (My problem was that something
mysterious in my .emacs file was interfering with transient-mark-mode,
which was turned on in that file.)
HTH!
