I recently been able to play civ 4. (just got a new system. old one was capable.)

I'm getting an error message that says;

The instruction at "0x00a5289e" referenced memory at "0x00000000." The memory could not be "read."

Any idea on how to fix this.

Run eventvwr.msc from Start > Run... and see if there are any logged "alerts" at the time your Civ game is crashing. Also attach a dxdiag.txt to a post please.
This is frequently a driver issue. Is your new computer's device drivers up-to-date and all installed software patched?

Make sure to apply the latest patch: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/patch/. When do you get the crash? If it happens during startup, please enable logging and post the init.log file (how to enable logging: http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_logging.htm).
