I've searched the net using Google and the only error message I could find that is close to that one is for OxC000009a. Maybe someone else can have better luck then I did.

Googling 0xc0000094 Settlers IV, offered some tips:

There are TONS of registry cleaners, some work, some don't.

Crap Cleaner, for instance, has one.
