    I need help, I can't for the life of me work out how to activate it :(

    I am running the latest NVidia driver (195.62) with System Tools. Is there a 3D driver I need but can't find? Google is not helping me out here.

    P.S. This is not the same as nVidia's 3D Vision which requires a 120Hz display.

    Thanks in advance :)

    I thought there was an option under the NVIDIA Control Panel, Steroscopic 3D -> Set up Stereoscopic 3D -> Enable.

    I'm kinda interested to see how it works, but I don't have the 3D glasses to view it. Do you need the full 3D glasses (that retail for like $100) or will their "demo" 3D glasses (that come bundled with the video cards) work?

    OK, Google did help in the end. I found that using LaptopVideo2Go's nVidia driver 190.38 works, so mystery solved :D

    I brought a plastic pair from DealExtreme, they're a bit dark but they work :)

    P.S. +1
