Did you update the drivers?
If not http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Reboot after updating?

That's a super old game. Try compatibility mode.
https://www.gog.com/forum/the_settle...lisation_error
Running windows 10, even after doing everything that has been suggested the game still would not work for me without these few additional steps that I would like to share in case it will help someone else out. right clicking settlers IV and go to properties. on the compatibilities tab I had to run compatible with win xp sp3. Further down under settings i had to check "reduced color mode" the drop down arrow under this i selected "8 bit (256) color". Then clicked "run as administrator". Then before attempting to open the game I would have to change my screen resolution to "1024 x 768". I would then open the game and it would work.

thank you , and yes i'm also glad that it is working again
i went to a voodoo forum for voodoo graphics card
and there was a man/guy that had almost the same pc setup like me here ,
he used the dgvoodoo2 to let the game run
so i did the same
thanks for the help and info on this
