Hello:
First of all Quemm is a very sensitive program. If there is a corrupted file
in your Maximus directory Quemm give a report saying invalid instruction.
Right now I am having a bit of problems with Quemm with one of my Lord IGM
games. Another thing Maximus does need a certain amount of memory to run
properly. My only suggestion to you is reinstall maximus all over and take
it from there.
I know some guys that don't want to touch Quemm. Hope that helps
