i got the same problem.
make sure EMM386 isnt loading, that was the cause for
me, but its best to boot DOS with nothing. (no
config.sys or autoexec.bat

That doesn't seem to solve the problem in this case. I am booting Windows 98 into Safe Mode, Command Prompt only.
Are you getting the Segmentation Faults?

i have no idea where the Xvesa program came from
or what version it is

Thanks.
