Can't activate stereoscopic vision in the control panel
Hi,
I just wanted to try out 3d vision (in anaglyphic(?) mode, I don't own any special hardware), but I can't even enable it in the nvidia control panel. I'm using driver version 182.08 for my 8600 GTS and downloaded (+installed) this stereoscopic driver: [url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/stereo_3D_181.25.html"]http://www.nvidia.com/object/stereo_3D_181.25.html[/url] (Vista Home Premium, 64bit)
When I try to check "Activate stereoscopic 3D-function"* in the control panel, the desktop becomes black first, then goes back to normal again and I get an error message displaying "Failed to create D3D Device" and Vista tells me the "stereo test application" has stopped working. The checkbox stays unchecked and I don't see any changes in games, of course.
I tried reverting to 181.22 drivers, didn't change anything. I also tried disabling my second monitor, but that didn't work any better.
I hope someone on here can help me out :)
*I'm not sure about the exact wording, in German it is "Stereoskopische 3D-Funktion aktivieren"

Hm, the maximum refresh rates of my monitors are 85 and 75 Hz. Is this important in anaglyph mode?
And yeah, maybe I should have mentioned ;) When I click on the setup wizard button, nothing happens at all.
Edit: My main monitor actually supports 100Hz, Vista probably didn't detect it correctly. Still, no result.

I just installed the 182.08 stereoscopic drivers, and the error is gone!
I still don't quite get it. When I click on the checkbox, I get that test window and I can see the two squares perfectly fine and it says "Press the ESC key to exit". But when I do that, the test window closes and the checkbox is unchecked again 0o
The "Run setup wizard" button still doesn't do anything.

Same thing here. I can see the image, but when I push esc. the box won't stay checked.

I can't see a reason why this shouldn't work on my machine :(

Now edit the value to 1 in the key in here that says [u]StereoVisionConfirmed[/u] and you can enable the checkbox for Anaglyph.
