[Chimera-users] Nvidia 3D Vision

Tue Jul 27 04:04:22 PDT 2010

Hi Daniel,
Hi Greg,

I solved it and finally got it working. (LCD was in 120hz mode and showing the doubled image of the model. But the IR-Emitter didn't want to turn on, stayed dark green and didn't turn light bright green.) 

I think my problem was installing the display driver first and afterwords the Quadro USB driver for 3D-Vision. Then I decided to install the Quadro USB driver for Nvidia 3D-Vision first and then the Quadro 191.87 Display driver. The result was a perfect 3D-Visualization.

Thank you so much for your support. I hope this might help others to fix the problem.

Best regards,
Christoph
