If you are using QW (since you mention Qspy you probably are) try using the following command under View/Options/Gameplay - qwcl.exe -heapsize 24500 this should increase the amount of memory to about 24Mb. Winmem doesn't work for QW, GLQuake or Winquake. I'm surprised that you can run Rock1 though as the map is much larger than 2fort4. If you use no command line parameters QW automatically assigns 16Mb which I find is more than enough for playing TF maps. If it still doesn't work I suggest that the problem is something else....
