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
Regards
