Go to menu: options: Customize Emacs: Specific Options: Font Lock Global
Modes
and then set Value to all.
and/or :Global Font Lock Mode
and then set Value to on
This should have been the default setting. Maybe something in your
.emacs has turned it off.

In Emacs-21, highlighting (called "font-lock") was not enabled
by default. Since Emacs-22.1, it is.
So either you're using Emacs-21, or you have something like
(global-font-lock-mode)
in your .emacs which ends up turning off the highlighting.
