Been playing with stereo 3D for a while and noticed that nvSCPAPISvr.exe, nVidia's 3D vision helper utility, frequently has tens of thousands of handles open. The longer your session, the more handles it'll have open. It usually gets to a point when Process Explorer, a popular task manger replacement, will no longer launch due to the amount of handles that nvSCPAPISvr has open.
See attached screenshot.
Wondering if this is happening to others as well.
nVidia? Andrew? Anyone?
On a sidenote, until some company comes up with BIG, reasonably priced 120hz LCD to replace my crappy yet 1080p capable 42" LCD, I'm sticking to just showing off with the mediocre anaglyph glasses now and then. No, that non-even-full-HD projector that nvidia's 3d vision page links to doesn't count.
Even if Zalman and the rest of the overpriced 3D vision options out there drop to half the current price, it'll still be disappointing to play on a small monitor once you've played on a big one.
I really hope nvidia is working on the ghosting issues with the glasses and not just focusing on the more expensive options.
We'll see if the anachrome glasses I've ordered help with the ghosting.

I don't have a 3D monitor, but the process was starting with my system anyways. I just turned the service to manual and don't have to worry about it taking up memory. I do see that you need it to use your 3D monitor (lucky you /thumbup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup:' /> ) so in that case when it starts eating too much memory I would stop and the start the service again.
You can do this manually by running "services.msc" in the windows run box, then just find the service, go to its properties and click stop, then click start.
If you want to do it on the fly you could create a batch file to restart the service "nvSCPAPISvr.exe" for you. Just make a new text file and rename it to "Restart nvSCPAPISvr.bat" or pick another name, but make the extension .bat. Then just right click the file and select edit. Then type to following, save and close the window:
@echo off
echo Press any key to stop "nvSCPAPISvr.exe"
pause
net stop "Stereo Service"
net start "Stereo Service"
Just run this batch file every time you notice that nvSCPAPISvr.exe has been running too long without unloading its unused handles (or memory allocations) and is eating up all your ram.
