Just fishing here, but have you tried pressing "i" before pasting (to get into insert mode)?
Another thing that might help is :set paste and :set nopaste when you're done.
If that doesn't work, have you tried any other console text editors like emacs and nano if they work?
If the question is related to gvim only (the GUI version), have you tried running vim in console (xterm, konsole...) and pasting? Does that work?
I'd have to have answers to all these questions before I can say anything.
