I have this laptop (Dell XPS L702X) that has an NVidia GeForce GT 550M and 3D vision and Win7 and all that shit. I upgraded it to Windows 8 Professional, and the drivers for the card got somewhat moved around and weren't working right. TBH, I expected this from the beginning, so no big deal. Reinstalled the drivers and everything, no problem. So now I want to set up my 3D vision again, so I run the setup wizard for it. I get halfway through the wizard (all the way up to the testing stage) and it takes a massive shit and stops responding and the screen sits there and flashes trying to figure out wtf to do. So between flashes I have to slowly move my mouse to the task manager to end the process (which for some reason is running as a 32-bit process on my 64-bit system, thank you windows 8 for including that information).
I know for a fact that the problem is NOT Winblows 8, so please don't suggest anything like that.
I downloaded and installed the drivers from the NVidia website, and they came with the option to make it a clean install and I checked that box. I've read on a few places on google that you should run Driver Sweeper or something similar before you install the new drivers. The drivers I installed are version 306, not the beta 310. I will attempt this tomorrow if I can't think of anything else by then, this is a big issue.
Additional info:
The website walkthrough on installing the drivers says to begin the setup wizard by running "Enable 3D VISION Discover", this doesn't show up on my computer, so I ran the wizard through the NVidia Control Panel.
