    Try removing all the drivers..run Drive Sweeper etc. Try doing it on safe mode. I presume you downloaded the driver you mentioned from the nvidia forum. I am using the same. So far all is well on 3D front. Ensure your stereoscopic setting etc is all turned on. Run the wizard for 3D setup. PLus dont forget to press the button on the glasses when you run the wizard. Ensure your glasses are working too.
