    When trying to enable the 3D option via Nvidia Control Panel the setup screen popped up. However the options didnt allow me to access 3D with my Wireless Glasses that came with the Laptop.

    It used to look like this :
    Now other options are listed. It seems the laptop doesnt recognize the glasses anymore : [​IMG]

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I apologize for the bad picture quality.

    I had this once... I had to uninstall all Nvidia drivers and software and then reinstall everything including the 2 3D drivers

    Hope this helps

    Check in the nvidia control panel that the 3D display (under stereo) is correctly selected from the drop down. It should say Alienware... and not generic...

    Sometimes the selection gets changes somehow? And as said above, a driver reinstall may well fix.

    We all agree that this is most likely a drivers issue.
    Pretty much what Micky and Dewy said.
    Just make sure you install them in the right order.
    Intel, restart then Nvidia then restart.
