I don't know about Qemm, but there are two 'fixes' I've used with Win 3.0 and
WP 5.1:
a) get the updated disks from WP with bug fixes (number is 800-541-5096).

b) in your PIF file, under options, specify /ne -- essentially, you're typing
wp /ne at the command line.  This disables WP from using extended memory.

Hope these helped.
