I get that message if I try to start PC Paintbrush with insufficient
main memory (i.e., the stuff below the 640K line).  I usually have to
reboot to drop out memory hogs like MSCDEX, run paintbrush, then reboot
again.  

Has anyone (Z-Soft, are you listening?) figured a way to make pbrush run
without frieze?
