3D Vision via bootcamp on Mac mini

Hi,
sorry for my english in advance 😉

I have problems to get 3D-Vision to work on my system:

*Mac mini (June 2010, Alu)
*Bootcamp, Windows 7, 64-bit
*Acer H5360 projector (via HDMI to Mac mini)
*nVidia 3D Vision Kit

*the projector is set to "nVidia 3D Vision" mode
*the projector displays 120Hz
*graphics card in the new Mac mini is the GF 320M
*since the 320M uses an older bootcamp driver (April 2010) i can only use the following 3D Vision drivers from your archive:

NVIDIA 3D Vision v197.13
NVIDIA 3D Vision v197.41
NVIDIA 3D Vision v197.45

*only with one of these drivers installed, i get the "stereoscopic 3D" tab in the nVidia Control Panel

*if i check the "enable stereoscopic 3D" box the 3D Vision wizard pops up:

*the wizard detects the USB-IR-Receiver; it glows green and strong green when displaying the test picture
*the wizard detects the projector as "Acer Projector (0701)"
*everything seems to be ok until now...
*when i turn the glasses on, it glows green - but no shuttering happens, nothing

The 3D Vision glasses won't synchronize or even start to shutter.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

It's working!

Had to install a newer driver for the GF 320M for Windows 7.
Apples official bootcamp driver is April 2010 and no newer driver was allowed to install...

It has to be a modded driver (.inf) - nothing else will work until Apple releases a newer graphics driver for bootcamp.

So now everything works and the 3D is amazing 😉

Thank you guys for your comments!

Hi again,

Just tried to download the 259.22 driver and found that the .inf for that version doesn't exist!

Did you just run the standard setup or did you get it working some other way? At the moment, I can install and I get a solid green light on the transmitter, but my glasses don't flash!

Also, I can't seem to set my monitor to 120Hz in the resolution control panel, although the Nvidia control panel detects it as a 120Hz Samsung.

I am using windows 7 32bit, so I guess that may be giving me problems, just trying to figure out exactly what drivers you ended up getting working.

Thanks again,
James
