        Do you mean to say that when you pres C-h c C-SPC it says that
C-SPC isn't bound to the function to set the mark, or that it does not
visually appear  to be highlighting the  mark?  Can you  C-SPC and C-x
C-x to the other side of  the mark?  Try M-x transient-mark-mode .  If
that fixes you can call it in your .emacs with something like:

(transient-mark-mode t) ;; i think
