   restore point"
   
   
2. Click "System Restore..."
   
   
3. Click "Next" on the following dialog
   
   
4. Select the restore point that matches the description you entered when you originally created the restore point, then click "Next"
   
   
5. Ensure the description matches on the next dialog, then click "Finish"
   
   
6. An additional confirmation dialog will appear. Click "Yes"
   
   

Once it has completed, your system will reboot. You can now utilize Wirecast versions prior to v14. Should you wish to return to Wirecast v14 or later, you will need to install the capture card updates again.
