My setup is as follows.

Visiontek GeForce3 ti200
23.10 detonators
win98se
12.40 stereo drivers
Wicked3D Eyescream glasses, H3D IIRC.

Basicly, whenever I try to run the stereo test or play a game in stereo it doesn't work. The screen has the stereo image on it but the glasses don't appear to be working. I unhooked them and tried them with another setup on wicked3d drivers and they worked fine. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Sure - wrong driver.
Remember those red/green/yellow lines flashing on top of the screen with the Wicked3D driver? The H3D controller needs them to activate the glasses in the right mode. No lines - no flicker.
Might try the H3D activator from http://members.tripod.com/ghazaly/
However, IIRC the H3D controller will deactivate the glasses whenever the video mode changes - which is very common in PC games, e.g. for setup and score screens.

Well, Andreas' post with the link to the H3D activator solved PART of my problem. At least now the glasses activate, but I'm STILL not seeing stereo in anything :(

We're running Win2K. When we bought the i-glasses (H3D with Terminator) back in July, we couldn't installe the Wicked3D drivers because they did not support Win2K. Still can't find any Win2K supported drivers from them. We d/l the latest nVidia stereo drivers for our Ge Force2 MX card and we get the stereo properties tab, but it won't keep the refresh rate we set. We've tried so much stuff in the last 2 days. The monitor is a Trinitron Multiscan and its capable of the 100-120 Hz recommended by nVidia (at 640X480 for 120), but still no luck.

We're stumped ! Any other ideas would be appreciated :)

what mode are you trying to use ie.sync doubling,page flip etc, in sync doubling you might have to reduce the refresh rate down to below 100 worth a try it worked for me.

You don't need the H3D-Activator for gaming.

If you have the old Terminator it shouldn't work with the nVidia drivers at all.
If you have the newer universal glasses from i-glasses it should work with the nVidia drivers by default. Or do you have the really old classic H3D? (Check http://www.stereo3d.com/terminator.htm )

Do you see a stereo (double) image at all in any test or game? Have you defined the right monitor in the Windows settings? Sometimes it helps to define a somewhat stronger monitor, since Windows has some security-margin and usually doesn't drive a monitor to the maximum possible refresh rate.

No matter which type of H3D-glasses you have you can use eyeScream Pro from http://www.wicked3d.com/ for OpenGL games under Win2k.

Well, we got it figured out with the latest nVida driver. Stereo is working just fine now, no activator needed.

As far as using eyeScream Pro, I have this much to say: we were completely unable to install the original eyeScream that we paid for with the glasses because back in July there was NO 2000 support. Now that they claim to have 2000 support, we can't use any of the driver upgrades because we never got the original installed in the first place, so its useless. We're disinclined to fork over additional $$$ to BUY a newer version when we should have been able to do an upgrade, but cannot.

Oh well.. point is moot.. nVidia eliminates the need for eyeScream anyway.

Thanks !
