The com port problem has to do with the way Windows 3.0 handles
serial ports.  There is a program that attempts to fix this called
setcom.  I have not tried it because I have no need for such a 
program.  You can attain it from cica.cica.indiana.edu by 
anonymous ftp in the directory pub/pc/win3/uploads.  If you want
to grab it today you can take it out of my directory on the Sun's.
It is in /home/gXXXXX/cn/cccstevn/Downld and is called w3setcom.zip.
You can download it and give it a try, but I will delete it by
tomorrow.
As to your other problem, it is difficult to say what is causing it.
Since you say you have a 386: are you in enhanced mode and is your
swap file set up correctly?  If either of these is not true then
your 2MB is an absolute limit and paintbrush takes up a LOT of memory.
I think that it is around 500K or more.  Try closing up some apps
before running paintbrush.  these are the only suggestions I can
give without knowing more about your setup.  Good Luck.
