We're stumped here - at the global config prompt, when we enter
"router ospf 1" it simply returns us to the global config prompt,
instead of showing Router(config-router)#

We're unable to start OSPF routing as a result

Any ideas?

just a shot in the dark - the device you are configuring - is it a
switch ?
If so, you want to make sure that it is running an EMI image - SMI
will show this behaviour as it does not support OSPF
