PES 2013 relies on older Microsoft Visual C++ libraries (2005/2008/2010). Modern Windows versions might not have these active.
Often, the game fails to initialize because it is trying to load a screen resolution or refresh rate that your monitor does not support. You can force the game to reset these settings via the launcher.
This is the #1 cause of the error.
Uncheck "VSync" and set "Anti-aliasing" to Off.
Click OK, then try to run pes2013.exe.
If the error persists, your game file itself might be compromised, not just the settings.
