This prompt means that maxima have not started; otherwise, the prompt 
would be
(%i1)

1. Does maxima run normally from the command line?

2. The error message looks rather serious. It seems that WinTeXmacs was 
unable to set some necessary environment variables, because no free space 
for them was available. Without properly set environment variables, 
nothing will work. Can you enlarge the space reserved for the environment?

I have no idea how to do thin in Windows (because I never use this OS). I 
dimly remember problems with insufficient space for environment variables 
in DOS; I had to enlarge it, changing something in autoexec.bat or in 
config.sys (I think the later). Please ask somebody who knows Windows.
In Linux we have no such problems :-)
