Boot into safe mode (hold down F8 when "Starting Windows-95" appears). 
Start Control Panel and click on the "System" icon.  Select the last tab
(Performance?) and there's some buttons at the bottom which change things
like file system optimisations and various 32-bit on/offs.  The middle one
(?) should be for video optimisation, and you can set it from basic bitmap
to full Windows optimisation.

No, they use different port addresses.  Some serial cards allow you to
change the IRQ to something other than 3 and 4, so you can have 4
independent COM ports.
