I would try this:

LAYER
   NAME 'banner1'
   STATUS DEFAULT
   DEBUG 5
   # don't need OGR, but if you want to use it try this first
   # sometimes \ can be a problem so trying /
   # you do not need .shp on the tileindex or shapefile names
   # but it should not matter either
   TILEINDEX 'C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/map.data/tindex-3'
   TYPE POLYGON
   PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" END
   CLASS
     STYLE
       COLOR "#ffff00"            # yellow polygons
       OUTLINECOLOR "#222222"     # with dark borders
     END
   END
END

Try this first, if it works then try changing things one at a time and 
retest to make sure it continues to work. Then if you find something 
that breaks it and you do not understand why ask.
