I now think its a memory problem, too.

My computer is running Win2000, 256 MB of RAM, virtual memory is fixed 
to 400 MB.
I started the Windows Task manager to watch memory usage:
- without any programs running (except virus scanner, ..) its 119 MB
- After starting Artemis it goes up to 412 MB
- Athena won't run

Then I set the virtual memory to fixed 600 MB.
- After starting Artemis it again takes ~400 MB
- Athena now starts! Memory usage is ~700 MB.

But shutting down one program before starting the other has been OK for 
me, too.
