    I'm having an issue with VAIO 3D, do you?

    Hi,
    I just got my VAIO 3D, I really liked it, but there is an annoying issue.
    After I complete Nvidia 3D configuration wizard, my browsers (IE and FireFox) gets too slow, keyboard typing is slow and intermittent.
    I tried to disable "Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D Driver", problem solved.

    Anybody has this issue?

    I had the same issue with Firefox on my VAIO F2 3D. Fixed the problem by going into Firefox Options > Advanced > General and unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available." Didn't have to disable the "Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D Driver".

    For IE, is this version 9 you're talking about? When I upgraded from 8 to 9, the performance was significantly worse. A similar process as the one Paul H. mentioned above fixed it.

    Internet Options > Advanced Tab > check box that says "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering"

    Thanks, it worked.
    But what are these options used for?
    And why they don't work with Nvidia 3D?

    And I see that Windows Live Messenger is slow.
    Is there a fix for it?

    Installing the Sony video driver update released last week seems to have fixed this for me.
