Emitter flashes blue / red / green when operating, among other problems
Just got a new 3d vision kit, and I cant find any documentation on why it is flashing these lights. All the documentation says the emitter will be green for working, red for problems, and nothing is said about blue. When inactive it slowly pulses between blue and green When active it is primarily blue, with occasional flashes of red and green As well it is not recognized by the nvidia 3d setup wizard and cannot get past the stage where you are asked to plug in the emitter, when I'm able to cajole it to run that is (the button in the nvidia control panel for the setup wizard disappears after plugging in this emitter). All of these are problems that are not present with my older 3d vision kit on the exact same hardware and settings. Plug in the new one, weird stuff happens, plug in the old one, works just fine. But, it *seems* to be working from the admittedly limited testing I have done with it so far. This is the second new emitter I have tried, the first one exhibited the exact same problems, and after my friend reported it stopped working for him several times I returned it. With this second one behaving the same my hopes are not high. Have I just been unlucky and gotten two duds in a row? Is this behavior documented somewhere and I just haven't found updated docs? Is there a new version of these things with new firmware that I need to be aware of? Is there an additional driver to get aside from the one included in the most recent graphics card driver?

[quote="lacuna"]May help: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/511747/blue-flashing-light-on-emitter/[/quote] Thanks, I came across when trying to figure this out originally and no dice. I have tried with multiple usb slots, and 2 completely different hardware configurations and encountered the same problems. Again, this doesnt happen at all with my 4-ish year old emitter, even plugged into the same USB slot.
