A couple things to try:
1) try starting vim with
vim -u NONE
to prevent any plugins from loading. If things suddenly start
working, then you've got an errant plugin or config
setting/option that's causing trouble. Use of :verbose and
:scriptnames can help to track down issues if this is the case.
2) from within you shell, issue
bash$ echo $TERM
and then from within vim issue
:echo $TERM
and see if they match. These *should* be the same. Either
you're resetting $TERM within vim, or your shell isn't setting it
properly for the terminal you're in.
Information for the results of these two tests should help move
in the right direction. It might also help to know what terminal
app you're using (xterm, rxvt, console, etc) and what shell
you're using (bash, zsh, csh, etc).
