    I just loaded Tron 3d up to watch, and when i set it to 3d the screen went from full screen to being only in the top left hand corner of my screen. Its the full picture but its like its playing Split screen. The 3d is working fine and the movie is working fine. its just in a small box in the top left of my screen. This is the first time this has happened. can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Ok, so what exactly is the problem? You said its split screen, which means 3d is not working but then you said 3d is fine? which is it?

    It maybe to do with Powerdvd 9, if thats what your using, i couldnt even get it to play blu-ray so i went and downloaded powedvd 11 and it worked fine.

    Also, make sure you have 3d enabled in you Nvidia control panel.

    I think he just needs to upgrade to 11. Try that Florik.

    Had that same problem. Go to Nvidia control panel and check the"let the application choose"

    Something like that, I think its the first tab. You probably checked "best performance" At least I did and got the same problem as you are having.
