Hi did you install the latest quadro 3d drivers from nvidia. I heard you don't need nvidia 3d vision glasses for their quadro cards since they have a 3 din vesa port. The mode you will use is quad buffered in a program like stereoscopic player, but that cost money to buy. There is a 3d movies and picture player called Sview but I am not sure if it supports "quad buffered" And since you don't have a dongle these programs need to activate the glasses unless you can find an Nvidia ultility to activate your glasses then you could use software 3d. You also should have options in your video card control panel to select din3 vesa or simliar and if not then running games in directx and possible opengl should activate your glasses. Did you also try nvidia 3d player http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision- ... river.html

Look here http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/Q ... _Guide.pdf on page #29 it says you can force your shutters on. So in fact you may be able to use software 3d for viewing movies but you may need a 3d vision kit to get it to work since nvidia is selling professional kits now. But you should still be able to activate your glasess with quad buffered I hope.

You may have to tinker around with the settings a bit, sorry it might have been alot easier to get a dongle to activate your glasses for watching movies and you could also check the iz3d drivers cause they support ati quad buffered and seems the same with nvidia quad buffered. The best thing to do is trial and error and see what works on your setup then come back for problem solving.
