'Only one instance of the game can run' Issue

So I posted this before and got a few responses though non of them worked, and by the looks of it the forums have now linked elsewhere not allowing me to respond to the people helping me (Thanks for that)

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8480491#post8480491

Hello, I recently began playing SWTOR and out of the blue the bug of 'Only a single instance of the application can run' began.
I searched through the forums and found all the methods in which was advised, non of them worked.
I tried installing the LauncherRepaitUtility.exe and extracted it to my folder and running, the repair utility closes before it actually finished its download randomly for no reason

http://imgur.com/QgcDrWU - It would close itself after this.

The launcher appears to be in the background of my programs, though it is not visible, I would appreciate this being fixed as I only subscribed 4-5 days ago for the first time and I've wasted two of these days as I have not been able to actually get onto the game.
Thanks for the help.
P.S I am about to set off for work, so do not assume that this has been fixed until I have responded, I will always reply back. (I will be back in around, Six and a half hours.)
P.P.S Do not comment saying "Yeah I have this issue too" or other such things unrelated to this post, it makes it harder for others to find the fixes.

    Everyone got moved here..

    My guide on the original forums is currently dead, here is the link to the new one.

    http://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-The-Old-Republic/Guide-quot-How-to-install-Swtor-Correctly-and-address-Windows-10/m-p/4851036#U4851036

    ~Most "Only one blah blah can run at a time" errors can usually be fixed by ALT + Cntrl + Delete = Task Managaer, then selecting Processers tab.

    The ones to kill are generally "Launcher" 'Brwc_swtor" (/bitraider) and lastly "swtor.exe" a simple right click and end task gets that sorted.

    Have a friend that plays using Ryan - lowlevel, guess lowbridge makes you a plane/flight nut..

    **You do know your running "Windows Aero" ?... and your Mrs "Spotify" aswell as her "Skype" .. She does know your using her laptop yes? ... what's the weather like in Napier?
