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....
