    Did you choose 3D option during driver install?

    Hi, I've seen this a few times. The only consistent thing I noticed is that during the driver install (3d components) a file copy window briefly opens. If this does not happen then the 'stereoscopic' tree is missing from the NV CP. Every time a full removal of the existing driver and a fresh install (of the dell driver first) fixes. Good luck!

    Use this guide http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/659378-nvidia-drivers-clean-install.html
    Custom install>check both 3D options/uncheck Nvidia update>check clean install.
    Nvidia Control Panel>Setup stereoscopic 3D>Run setup wizard.
    Setup stereoscopic 3D option is not available browse C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA 3D Vision driver\NVStWiz.exe>double click.
    Enter BIOS check if PEG is enabled.
    IF still not working then probably the screen is connected to the LVDS connector (60Hz screen), eDP(middle one) is the 3D 120Hz one.
