 Can anybody help me about the mathmatica for windows?

Recently my friend tried to install Mathmatica for windows on 
486/33 machine. He got the following error message.
GROWSTUB caused a general protection fault
in module GDI.exe at 0001:4521

Then it is close.
Also I have same problem when I run windows3.1 on my 286 machine
which has ems and ext memory. But it failed on 12 MH turbo mode and
runs only in 6 MHZ slow mode. It says that GDI.DRV errors.
Anybody can explain those errors related to GDI.XXX something like
this?
It will help me to learn about the structure of windows 3.1
Thank you in Advance.
