RichardsG07 The initialization error is typically caused by an overly active antivirus, and the already running error can be as well. So please set exceptions in your antivirus for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64; or the entire Bin folder they're in. Set one for EADesktop.exe as well.
If that doesn't help, you can find more suggestions in the first post of this thread:
