Windows will begin uninstalling your previously installed copy of the DVR software.

4. Once uninstall is complete, click "OK."

5. Go to Start > My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files. You'll see a folder called "DVR Server." Right-click the folder and choose "Delete." You'll be asked "Are you sure you want to remove the folder 'DVR Server' and move all its contents to the Recycle Bin?" Choose "Yes."

6. Go to Start > Right-click on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager. Click on the Hardware tab. Click on the plus sign next to "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers" to expand the menu. You should see a device that is copied several times. (If you are upgrading an HC2 or HC3 card, these drivers will be listed under a device starting with "MT", H.264, or DHVECWDM in your Device Manager.) These are your device drivers for your DVR Cards. Right-click on each driver and select Uninstall.
