Well, I wasn't sure where to watch and comment so I will ask in this post.

Recently the new update came out and of course I want to install it too, but... When I want to delete my old City Car Driving (v1.2.5) I get a problem, namely:

''There is a instance of City Car Driving application running on your machine. Please close it in order to proceed.''

I have searched the task manager but in vain... Is there any way to get this fixed without having to delete the folder and searching it in the register.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure to close any open folder. Then uninstall it from "Programs and Features" in Control Panel.

Hello,

Try this:

1. Download and install the previous version of the game (1.2.5) using this link – citycardriving.com/files/CityCarDriving_1.2.5.exe

2. Uninstall the game correctly using the "Programs and components" menu in the control panel.

3. Delete the game folder, where the game was installed to (if something remains after uninstallation there).

4. Delete the folder "Forward Development" from your "My Documents" folder.

5. Install the latest version of the game 1.3. After previous steps it should be installed correctly without any errors.

Hi Kivlov,

I have installed the version you gave me and yet it didn't work. I still get the same message. I checked everywhere but there is of course no instance of City Car Driving running.. Or is there?

I can try deleting it out of the reg, but I don't know where all files are.

Any other suggestions?

PS: I can provide photos if necessary.

Then try cleaning the all game files from HDD manually (including the game installation folder, including the "Forward Development" folder in "My Documents"):

1. Delete the game folder, where the game was installed to.

2. Delete the folder "Forward Development" from your "My Documents" folder.

3. Then you should clean your Registry. The ideal solution is to search the whole Registry and delete all keys and strings, which contain any clue of words "forward development", "multisoft" and "city car driving". I recommend using the "Registry Crawler" - very powerful and useful program.
