"obs already running" trying to run, have uninstalled previous version but it will not install
- Thread starter barney99
- Start date
Still trying. I have deleted another screen recorder in Task Management and again uninstalled OBS, tried to reinstall but got the following message
" OBS files are being used by the following applications
Gooogle Chrome
Please close these applications to continue setup."
Although I have uninstalled icescream screen recorder I am nervous about uninstalling Chrome
Any ideas ?

You don't need to uninstall the referenced apps, you just need to make sure they're not currently running.
Depending on Chrome's configuration, there might still some background process running even if you close Chrome. These background processes are what you need to terminate. Either there is a Chrome task bar icon that gives you the option to completely terminate Chrome, or you terminate Chrome the hard way with Task Manager by selecting the "Details" pane where every process is listed in a plain list, sort by name, and kill every chrome.exe you find (there are multiple, usually).
