How do I uninstall/install drivers? With 3D Vision?
As I've done for the past several years, each time I update drivers:

Uninstall

Boot into Safe Mode

Driver Clean/Sweep

Boot into normal mode and install drivers

Restart & Enjoy.

What is the process with 3D Vision?

Do I uninstall 3D Vision Drivers, then the normal graphics drivers and proceed to safe mode and etc? I don't care that nVidia has the clean install option now, I'd rather take the time to do it how i've been doing it. Perhaps its stubborn of me but its practically ingrained as a process for me.

So how is this done with 3D Vision?

I bet several years - because you really don't need to do that anymore. NVIDIA and/or Microsoft got their act together so installation is much easier. (Assuming you have Windows 7, anyway.)

1. Get the CD for the drivers. Instead of searching for your GeForce card, select 3D Vision as the product and search for the full CD. Get that and extract it.

2. Go into the Drivers directory and run the setup. You don't need to uninstall the old drivers. There is an option to do a clean install but this should be avoided unless you are fairly sure you are going to need it. (We had to do it to get the 3DVision Live website working, for instance.) The clean install wipes all your custom settings so don't just select it on a 'better safe than sorry' basis.

3. Go to the Stereo directory. There's a setup there named NvIRUSB. Run that.

4. You shouldn't need to reboot but you might as well. It's not like rebooting is a big deal on a home PC.

If you run into nasty problems, THEN go back and do the driver cleaner stuff.

P.S. Hmmm, that autorun.exe might be a better place to start than the drivers folder.

P.P.S. The CD may be a day or two behind when the drivers are first published.

I just use Geforce GPU and 3D Vision kit, two simple drivers and the no need to uninstall the IR Emitter driver anymore, nice job on that nvidia, thanks.
