When connecting your IR emitter the first time and you are prompted with the Found New Hardware dialog, if you click "Don't show this message again for this device" when connecting USB Emitter and this popup shows the NVIDIA IR Emitter will not install even if the user runs the 3D Vision driver installation.

[*]Go to the Windows Device manager
[*]Under "Other Devices" expand that section.
[*]Right mouse click on the item NVIDIA Stereo Controller and select "Update Driver Software"
[*]You will now see a message and dialog box: "How do you want to search for driver Software."
[*]Select "Search automatically for updated driver software."

    I am unable to update/install the driver as you have indicated. When I ask windows to update the driver automatically it searches online for a few seconds and then says that it could not find the driver. Is there some other way to install the stereo controller driver?

    I worked it out. I uninstalled the just the 3d vision driver then reinstalled it and that did the trick. Looks like the combined geforce gtx and 3d vision driver package doesn't include the required emitter driver whilst the stand alone 3d vision driver does.

    Now I just need to figure out why my gtx295 is performing so badly at the moment :wacko:
