Video player causing "no signal" on monitor
I'm using the 275.33 drivers and Video player 1.6.9 but when I press Escape in full screen to return to the desktop the screen often turns black and the monitor says "no input signal".
The only thing I can do is press the reset button because there's no way of getting a signal anymore.
Sometimes the screen doesn't turn black but then I get the message: The display driver stopped responding and has succesfully recovered.
What's wrong?

First, if you haven't already dones so, reboot. (I'm always amazed at how many people just leave their computers on for weeks at a time. It's a home PC not a server! TURN IT OFF when you aren't using it!)

Next, I think I would re-download those drivers, uninstall the current drivers, and install them all over again. That will make sure the drivers haven't gotten corrupted.

Also, you might try messing with your Aero Windows option. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on. You might also go into the NVIDIA control panel's 3D setup options and change the "select when the display is in 3D mode" option to always be on. When you run and when you stop showing a 3D video, Windows kicks in and/or out of Aero mode and it sounds like it's confusing things on your PC.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already installed the drivers a couple of times because I can't get Youtube 3D working so that's not the problem. And like I said, all I can do when the signal disappears is reboot my computer so that's not it either.
However, I've tried the "original" version of the video player (Stereoscopic Player from www.3dtv.at) which is now at version 1.7.2 and it's much more stable than the one from nVidia.
I wonder why nVidia is taking so long to release it because all they have to do is add the nVidia splash screen on startup.
