    Does anyone know what program i need to use/buy that would Enable Stereoscopic 3D so i can watch 3d Movies, i tried a 3D game and it worked fine i was about to toggle it, but when it came to enabling it for a Movie, Resident Evil Afterlife 3D, it was about to notice i was using a 3D capable device.

    after restarting the comp a few times toggling the 3d a few times.. it worked dont know how i did it, but... the last thing i did was install.. nVidia Internal 3D Stereo Controller from dell.com, this may or may not have fixed it. cant say for sure but it works now.. Verified, 3d works on power dvd 9.6.6
