I bought a wicked3d wireless set quite a while back which I used to use alot playing flight sims and 1st person shooters. Always enjoyed them without too many problems. Anyhow I wanted to encorporate them in my latest system, but something seems to have gone wrong somewhere. The screen goes into stereo mode no problem, and I can see light from the emitters when I use an IR sensitive camera, but neither the glasses I got with it originally or the 2nd pair I bought later seem to activate. Tried changing the batteries in the glasses, but no change. The IR does seem a little dim, though. Ever heard of a dongle just giving up the ghost like that? Does anyone know anything about a schematic or what kind of test point specs may be useful on this thing? Doesn't appear to be a terribly complicated device. | ||

AFAIR (long time ago...), the Wicked3D dongle is limited w.r.t. screen resolution and refresh rate - did you increase any of those after upgrade? Could you give some details of your system before and after upgrade (OS, graphics, driver, resolution, refresh)? BTW - what driver do you use? I once had to put mine to rest because I didn't find a driver for XP. | ||

The previous system was a Geforce3 TI500 on Win2000. Always used the latest Nvidia drivers on it. I believe I usually had it set at 75hz,1024 by 768 true color, but the monitor died at one point and I had to replace it. I don't recall actually using the glasses after that, but I still have that system and it doesn't work on it either. The newer system is a GeForce FX 5200, still on Win2000 with 7.8.0.1 drivers using the same size and color, and I've tried several refresh rates. | ||

Upon examining the dongle I noticed the H3D logo. Does this mean that I should have some proprietary software resident on my system and not just the Nvidia drivers? |
