The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OBSKIN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OBSKIN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OBSKIN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.

Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move OBSKIN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OBSKIN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
