Works for me. Of course the "block insert" only happens when you go back
to Normal mode by hitting <Esc>
Does it still not work for you if you start vim as "vim -N -u NORC -U
NONE"? If it does, the problem lies with your vimrc and/or gvimrc
(and/or in scripts sourced by them). You might try commenting out half
of the file by wrapping it between "if 0" and "endif" (without quotes of
course) then proceeding further by halving and halving again until you
narrow down the problem to a single line.
Alternately, you might try starting with only the following vimrc:

then adding lines from your (former) vimrc if needed.
