    Hello All,
    ran into this strange problem a couple of minutes back... Was playing Trine 2 in 3d, was breathtaking and so was the case with other games i played in 3d too ( Mass Effect 2 with Helix fix, L4d from steam sale ;) )... However, when i try to browse the 3d pics on 3dvision live, the screen flickers as it should just before displaying 3d content, but the glasses do nothing and the picture is displayed as a 2d pic... same for the 3d videos... happens across all the sites i tried... Has me puzzled as the 3d works fine on games, but not on any other 3d content?? :confused:

    I think it might be a browser issue... checked to see all pre-requisites (silverlight, flash etc..) and all seemed fine...

    Any help about this issue would be welcome :)

    Edit : Am on IE 9...

    Only Firefox can display online 3D content.

    Is it??? I used to watch all this 3D content on IE 9 before too :wideeyed:
    I solved the problem though.... seemed to be a bad install of Adobe flash player.... had to update it to the latest version (11, i think)...

    I think i missed you the last time i wanted to tell you this... being persistent about it coz i really feel for it... A BIG thank you for the throttling fix mate... my r3 has been enthralling me ever since you came out with that fix... next time the beer's on me! :D :D
