Well, have you tried, as Ben said, to start Vim from the command prompt as

gvim -N -u NONE

so that any "weird" settings in your vimrc don't make the waters murkier?

If this works, then it must be something in your vimrc or in a
nonstandard plugin. To know which, try either

gvim -N -u NORC

or

gvim --noplugin


Best regards,
Tony.
