What DOES happen when you hit ESC in insert mode? ESC is an extremely basic feature and it should always work.

Unless, of course:
1. You have an insert-mode mapping for <ESC>
2. You have the option 'insertmode' set
3. You are using Vim in "easy mode" (i.e. your Vim is named "evim", or you launch it as "vim -y" or "gvim -y")

Are any of these true?
