GTX 580M + 3DTV Not working since upgrade to 280.26
Whenever attempting to run the test an error pops up:

Error in Stereo Driver,
NvAPI_Stereo_IsActivated() returned 0 after stereo was enabled by default with
Settings->setDefaultStartupMode(true)

Using an Optoma HD66 projector (not that it matters)...Worked fine before the update. Every driver update seems to break SOMETHING with Nvidia 3D technologies.

Any ideas/troubleshooting help for this? I have removed all drivers completely and reinstalled but the issue is still there. It works fine using my notebook's built-in LCD screen (Alienware M17x R3, again, not that it matters).

I have the same problem with an LG D2342P-PN monitor over HDMI 1.4 (just using Blu-Ray 3D as it isn't supported by 3DTV play and came with Tridef 3D). The setup wizard starts 3D mode (with strange mouse lag ever couple of seconds). When I click next there is a loading cursor (in 3D) then I get that error. Everything slows down like the GPU is under heavy load until I close the setup wizard from the taskbar. 3D resolutions are available and work but anything 3D doesn't actually display in 3D (e.g the test application) - 3D mode gets enabled but there is no seperation (with possibly a time delay - not sure if that is my monitor trying to compensate or not).

I had the same problem with 280.19 beta. STILL have issues with black level/colour banding on the desktop and with custom resolutions too. Basically I can't find any driver where everything works (some previous versions often output with the two views sort of semi showing part of the image each with the top of the desktop repeating at the bottom) - you'd think this was ATI!

Edit: whoops how did I miss the all important specs:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 OC 1GB (video bios 70.04.13.00.01)
Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1
ASUS P7P55D-E Pro

I've noticed that issue mouse stuttering a few more times - seems to happen a certain resolutions (I've been playing around with multiple monitors and it keeps getting confused which is which too).

BUMP.

Come on. This is ridiculous, 3D keeps getting broken in every update.

Bump. Downgraded drivers to an unsupported version and it worked. Upgraded back to current, stopped working. Drivers are broken. Why won't you acknowledge this problem?
