also ich hatte auch mal probs das spiel zu starten, hab dann mal eingestellt, dass es in Fenstermod gespielt wird. probier das mal...
Dokumente > MyGames> Civ4> Civ4ini > Fullscreen (ungefähr Zeile90) auf ask stellen.
dann fragt dich das spiel beim starten ob du in Fullscreen spielen möchtest, klick nein.
vielleicht hilft das bei dir auch

Hoffentlich sprechst du auch English. I have exactly the same problem. The exact error message: Sid meier's civilization iv failed to start (error code 51). All games start, CIV3, CIV5, other games from other devolopers but not CIV4, CIV4 colonization and CIV4 beyond the sword. I have deleted ALL local CIV content and reinstalled only CIV4 after a clean reboot, exactly the same problem. I searched the WEB and the steam forums but no clue what to do. Anyone?

@Dantes Easy Sweap: Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. I even deleted the entire profile directory but same error. The error code 51 appears even befor the game checks / accesses the profile dir.

Allright; found some other topics regarding this issue. I found two options, tried them both and you've guessed it, both did not work, neither did a combination of the two.

Option 1: According to the folks at Steam.* If you have an Error 51 it means that your ClientRegistry.blob file in the Steam folder is corrupt.* Try deleting that file and Steam should redownload the correct version of that file.* This should fix your problem.
--> NOPE!

Option 2: Additionally, if you get error 51 and replacing your ClientRegistry.blob file doesn't appear to fix the problem, check your firewall software.* If the firewall software blocks some of steam's communication this can also lead to an error 51.
--> NOPE!

Error 51 seems to occur @ other games also. When you try to launch the file nested in the Steam directory [gamexecutable.exe] the common error message is "Application load error 3:0000065432". In my case for CIV4 but topics report of other games like Defencegrid with the same error.

Problem solved! I found this tread http://steamcommunity.com/app/242920/discussions/0/540734254971841864/ (check option 4).

The problem is (in my case) caused by F-Secure (or other applications that use the F-Secure deepscan engine, in my case a rebuild of F-Secure by a Dutch provider called Ziggo). I do not understand yet why it only happens with CIV3 in my case, but I probably shoud exclude the CIV folder form scanning. For now, I simply disabled the virus scanner, killed its process and voilá! :purpleteam:

Update: It now works with the virus scanner enabled. I added the complete steam folder to the scanning exlusion list, problem solved for all games ;-)
