8800GT and Win7 64 not supported? 8800 GT used to work with 3D Vision on Vista 32
I have a 3D vision kit and the Samsung 2233RZ display.
I was previously using these with an 8800GT and Vista 32bits.
This configuration worked and I was able to play games in stereo vision.
I recently built a new computer with Win7 64bits and installed the same 8800GT.
I am unable to install the the drivers for the 3D Vision IR emitter.
When I run the 3D Vision install wizard, the first screen says that "The 3D Vision driver and GeForce graphics drivers have already been installed on your system." So far all is well.
Then I click next and the wizard tells me to plug in the IR emitter. I do so and the ON/Off button only glows red and therefore am unable to proceed with the installation.
If I exit the install and look in the device manager, it says there is no driver installed for "NVIDIA stereo controller".
In order to figure out what is going on, I tried installing 3D Vision Discover instead of 3D Vision. When I do this, it says "Hardware test failed".
Next I went to the NVidia web page and ran the tool to test if your system is ready for 3D Vision. To my surprise, it FAILED due to the video card being an 8800GT.
This is ridiculous since I was previously running the same graphics card on my older system with 3D Vision just fine.
Please help. Have the requirements been increased? Is there a way around this?

The cards that are supported havent changed as im aware of so your fine there, so my gues whould be that its a problem with Windows7 or the 64bit varient.
Are you using the latest driver kit from the nvidia site? 1.23cd?

That is common when installing. Easy to fix.
1st Step: Restart Computer.
2nd Step: Start the Wizard from Nvidia Control Panel (ir transmitter should be unplugged right now)
3rd Step: Plug in IR emitter, usb drivers should automatically load
4th Step: Finish the Wizard.
I run into the display not being detected once in a while as I bounce from driver set to driver set constantly while troubleshooting.

Thanks Adz 3000 and Kory.
It was user error, I hadn't installed the drivers. It appears to work now.
It's still strange that the "automatic tool" on NVidia's web site to test your system still says my system fails due to the 8800GT.
