    I was wondering if anyone had the ISO to this disk. I never received it from the retail store i purchased it from. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Also I just did a clean reformat with a SSD I added. I am new to this 3D nvidia and was wondering if there is any tutorials on how to use it?? I do not have the 3D vision 2 glasses yet but I will get those soon... But I would like to test and make sure the feature is working. How would I do that and with what free application would it work with fine?? I just dont get this new 3D technology lol

    The drivers are available from the Asus website. They were also in a folder on your laptop prior to you reformatting.

    What 3D are you talking about? The BBK5 doesn't have the 3D monitor. You have to get the 3D version from a different retailer than Best Buy.

    A second generation Intel i3 iGPU supports 1080p 3D Blu-ray playback. That would mean every laptop sold should have a 3D monitor.

    You would return it to Best Buy and buy the Asus model that includes 3D such as the ASUS G75VW-DS73. 3D needs both the screen and since it uses Active 3D glass, the IR communication port for the glasses.

    It also needs extra pins for the LVDS cable so the connectors for the LCD might be different between the 3D and non 3D versions as was the case for the various G73s and G74.

    IIRC:
    1366x768 -> 30 pins minimum
    1600x900/1920x1080 -> 40 pins minimum
    3D 1080p -> 50 pins minimum

    On my G74SX, a copy of the ASUS Drivers and Applications CD is located on the HDD in C:\eSupport\eDriver. Perhaps it is similar for the G75 laptops.
