    I just did a fresh install of windows 7.

    I first installed the 460M driver from dell website, but when I tried to use 3d... it would not work. So I assumed it was the issue other people had... and downloaded 267.31 from l2g.

    But now I get a hardware not support message.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I sent you a PM on this but if you did a fresh install did you also install the "Internal 3D Stereo Controller" driver that actually controls the transmitter in the screen that tells the glasses what to do? ;)
