Just checked nVidia like I do all the time and to my surprise the 3D controls are now posted. Hope it works....

So, I have a GeForce Ti500 and wired i-glasses. ONE TIME I've seen the glasses flickering (this is before the latest drivers). I don't know what I had done differently that time, they just happened to be plugged in and flickering.

Every other time (even with new drivers), the glasses just sit there. Is there a basic setup/resolution I need for these to kick in, or is the cable bad, or what?

Any help appreciated! I'm on W2k btw.

The new 3D drivers don't work for me, nor for a friend of mine. When trying to access the Advanced-settings, I (we) get an "Unable to open dialog 85" - any idea ?

Same problem here (WinXP Pro). Just search in Winnt and subdirectories for nvrs*.dll and move them to another location (or delete). According to a post somewhere else, they are language files and are not needed. Stereo can then be enabled and the test image works fine. In five minutes I'll be trying it in Q3 and UT.

Can't enable my stereo features in XP. Have the tabs, but it will not allow me to change. Also, when I installed the stereo drivers, I got an error message saying windows can't open registry files. any advice? been waiting a long time for this. Thanks

Do you think the nvrs.dlls should be removed even on a Win2K system? I'm not having any errors, my glasses just aren't doing anything! TIA

Hello -
I just installed my 3D Stereo drivers for XP and run my first game - which was pretty much unplayable because of constant flickering. Any idea how to make it stop ?

OH MAN!!!!!! I've had these glasses for a while but was waiting for Win2k drivers to try them. AMAZING!!!! My only experience with this is a set of glasses for tv, but the refresh rate of NTSC makes them painful. These are SMOOOOOTH! I am totally blown away! Sorry for the rant, but I never expected these to ever work!!!!

Here's what I did. I installed the nVidia drivers again, 23.11 and the 3Dpanel, and also the WDM one or whatever it's called for good measure. IT WORKED and it's SWEET!

Have a GeForce 3 Ti 500 and XP-Home, got the new Nvidia drivers and everything is great, the only problem being is that I cannot go to 32 bit color and over 1024x768 without lowering my refresh rate to 70hz. You would think a card like that would fly in 3D...nope....

It's not your card, that is the refresh rate that the monitor can handle at that resolution.

Ok, here's how to stop glasses from flickerin:
Just make sure that other devices aren't doing anything, like CD-ROM, Network card and other stuff. Audio doesn't count. E.g. when i had morpheus downloading music in the background they kept flickering all the time and when a game was playing from a cd they kept flickering in sync with the "busy" light. When i made sure that these things didn't work, the glasses work brilliantly. Also they flicker rarely(once in 10min) when the hard drive is being accessed, but it's a really minor thing.

I've even uninstalled my network-cards to be sure they aren't interfering, but I still get a heavy flicker in most of the games. E.g. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is absolutely unplayable !
My GeForce2 isn't sharing IRQ with any other device, refresh-rate is set to 120, already removed the SoundBlaster Live once, just to be sure, and have a 1.4 Athlon with a Via-chipset-motherboard...

well after having some runs with the nvidia stereo-driver (my system: athlon, win xp pro, geforce2, infrared relevators) i can say that it really works but:

1) games performance sucks in stereo-mode -> try the 3D Marks -Demo please ...

2) more ghosting than i can remember from the good old elsa-drivers

3) sometimes it just seems not very deep 3D ...

anyone got the same problems or do i have to change something ?

thanks

Can't get them to work properly. Systems stays stable and all, but the glasses flicker like hell (seems to be flickering whenever harddisk activity, although sometimes without it too).

Quote from Guru3d:

it does work when system locale is set to english(us)

if you have a geforce panel in an other language now, it wont workt without setting your systems regional options. The 23.11 comes as a WHQL (wiht all lang. files) so this driver is not that fit for use with it, because if you open the panel and the stereo stuff aint there in your language, it crashes out ...

my system locale IS set to US, but the random flickering stays. Tried about everything I can think of. The glasses even flicker when booting into DOS, so it might be a hardware problem after all.

Could it be that the batteries are almost down? Or that the glasses simply don't work anymore?

I think kennung1 was referring to the "Unable to open dialog 85"-problem people with non-US regional-settings were having.

Though I'd love to know, too, why there is such heavy flickering - I think it's my SoundBlaster Live and Network-card, because if one of them is doing something, it starts to flicker, though they are NOT sharing the same IRQ !

Everything is sharing the same irq(9) under 2000/xp, even thoough it doesn't really display it.

Removin ACPI is too costy. It's easier to make sure nothing's working, as i said in my post above. Works for me. the problem is that some games use mp3 encoded sounds(i suspect that Castle Wolfenstein is one of em) and that needs constant access to the cpu through the irq interruption(unlike wav, where the sound card chip can do most of the work). I think that may be the cause of constant flickering.
