Hi!

I had this problem with DRDOS, Windows and TVGA drivers. I think that
your configuration is correct, because you can start Windows with the
normal Windows VGA drivers. The problem is likely to be that the TVGA drivers
are COMPRESSED! and you must decompress them with expand.exe.
Try to load a driver file into a ASCII text editor, try to find
some (somewhat) readable text in the garble you see. If you find some weird 
characters or blank spaces breaking words, then your driver file is 
compressed. In uncompressed format the readable words look "normal".

Try expand.exe (found on one of the Windows disks), for example:

expand a:vddtvga.386 c:\windows\system\vddtvga.386
..etc.

I sincerely hope that you can solve your problem with this simple solution!!!
