I just bought the EDimensional Wireless Glasses.

On my Laptop computer (specs below) I installed the Wireless Glasses out of the box, with included CD, for standard video cards.
(Not the ivison drivers)
Glasses and EXTERNAL CRT monitor seemed to work okay in 3D mode.
Then I installed latest version of the "Stereoscopic Player" from 3dtv.com.
>>> Initially this WORKED great! <<< Downloaded some demo videos, most played great.

>>> Then I rebooted computer. <<< After that, suddenly any attempt to play ANY video caused a complete crash of XP, Blue screen of Death, and reboot. I have never seen that before.
Problem seemed in Intel video driver. (But why did it work fine before the first reboot???)
Installed latest Intel graphic drivers for card. This stopped crash, but now I have a BLACK SCREEN while playing video in Interlaced mode.
And when I exit the video player, I get this Windows error:

"The instruction at "0x029c0750" referenced memory at "0x029c0750". The memory could not be "read".
"

This ALSO happens with ANOTHER video player, "Stereo Movie Player" from a Japanese guy. SAME memory location!

I then installed latest versions of ActiveX9 and Windows Media Player 10.
No change.

----------
>>> Then I installed everything on a completely diferent Desktop computer <<<... And exactly the same problem happens!
Both video players cause the same error, on the same memory address, on two different computers and with different OS (see below)!!

However, both computers have a related video card (pure coincidence).

So, I cannot use the glasses at all now.
It looks like the software applications try to connect to the ED drivers at the wrong memory address!
The ED driver DOES TALK (Voice) "edimensional" when I start a video player, but even so I does not communicate or syncronise properly.

Hardware/Software:

Computer 1:

Laptop, 1.6 Ghz, WindowsXP, ActiveX9, "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family"
ED Drivers: 4.25 Latest version
---
Computer 2:

Desktop, 3Ghz, Windows-2000, Activex9, "Intel 910G Express Chipset Family"
ED Drivers: 4.25

Help...

Have you tried to uninstall the ED driver? Stereoscopic Player doesn't require or use this driver. I've tested Stereoscopic Player on different Intel chipsets (855GME and 945 GM) and never had such problems. However, I've never had the ED drivers installed, all I'm using is a small utility (3D World Controller) which allows to turn the glasses on and off using colored lines at the top of the screen. Since this is just an app and no driver, it doesn't affect system stability.

YES! Awesome, that works! It was the only program I did _not_ download from Edimension's web site... It is also not included on their CD...
Thanks, Peter, you just made yourself some money, I registered your player :-)

Thanks again,

Bart
