3D Vision settings suddenly missing from nVidia Control Panel
I have an LG 120Hz 3D monitor which has been working happily with my nVidia GTX285 3D Vision glasses, until recently. Suddenly the 3D capability has gone and the 3D Vision settings have vanished from the Control Panel. I suspect this is due to a faulty driver upgrade (I'm now on 314.22). Can anyone confirm this is the cause? Does anyone know of a remidy?

This appears to have happened in the latest drivers - don't know why.
I've only bought my 3d monitor this week, and updated the driver only to find the flippin settings removed.
I restored back to my old driver...
No idea (if they have stopped supporting vista) why they would actually turn the option off, rather than simply stop the development.
PS. Is there any way at all to contact Nvidia directly - I can't find one...

[quote]3D Vision Legacy Support Notification for Windows Vista
Support for 3D Vision under Windows Vista is discontinued beginning with the
Release 313 drivers. 3D Vision and 3DTV Play functionality will not be available with
these drivers.
NVIDIA will continue to support basic 3D Vision and 3DTV Play functionality for
Windows Vista with Release 310 or earlier drivers. Basic functionality includes fullscreen viewing of 3D games, pictures, and movies on 3D Vision monitors, notebooks,
and 3D TVs (with 3DTV Play software installed).[/quote]
I know it sucks, I had the same thing happen with Windows XP, but it looks like you'll either have to go back to an older pre-313(310?) driver or upgrade your OS.

I still don't understand how anyone can justify Win XP over Win 7, it just seems crazy. You get no product support once MS drop it from their lineup, no more security updates, no proper SSD support, no full support for 4GB RAM or above, no DX11 compatibility.
The only advantage over Win7 is hardware 3D audio support, but that's been reintroduced in Win 8.

TianNguyen, please go away. Your posts are not helpful.
Airtrooper is looking for help with 3d vision. You do not have a 3d vision monitor. You do not know anything about 3d vision. Posting random thoughts on XP for someone who needs help with an unrelated problem is not helpful, and just wastes everyone's time when they read it.

Many thanks everyone for all your replies. I rolled back my driver to the previous one I was using (311.06) and everything is working as advertised again :-)
