Can someone explain how to use this driver to me?

Right. I feel like a total idiot for this but I can't seem to figure out for the life of me how this driver actually works.
I'm using it with my Zalman M215W and can't seem to understand what the hell I'm meant to be doing. Thus far I've been using Tridef with good results... thats simple, download a profile from their website and away you go.
With this however I have the following issues:
Why is there a complete lack of game profiles in the driver settings? I look on their website and they say it supports loads of games... my list only has like 20 games on it. Is there something I'm missing?
How come whenever I start up a game (for instance one of the games on the puny list that I actually have... lets take Half Life 2 and Portal for example) its asking me to fiddle with settings in the wizard? What should I be setting these to? Are you trying to tell me I have to fiddle around with this for every game I want to ever play before I can actually play? And does that mean there aren't actually any game profile presets, but you do all of the work in terms of getting the 3D settings right per game?
Generally, what should I be setting convergence and seperation to? It defaults the same for every game I've tried and them tells me to modify it... The thing is though the defaults aren't really all that 3D at all, and when I mess with them everything becomes a mess or hurts my eyes. I want both a decent amount of popout and a sense of scene depth but can't seem to achieve that no matter what I do whereas with Tridef its set in the profile for every game and its spot on most of the time. What settings should I generally be using for the type of visual effect I want?
What if I just want mostly scene depth for a game? Then what should I use? And also what if I want mostly popout? And what about both?
I've looked at the MTBS guide regarding this and it doesn't really help for this driver...
I know this might sound like a bit of a rant but I'm frustrated. People on here and elsewhere have said that IZ3D is better than tridef but right now I'm not seeing it. All I see is a driver that is general and vague. The biggest kicker... it hardly supports any games and then makes you sort out the 3D settings for the few games it does have on its list. I thought it was meant to support Risen... why is that game not on the list?
I really don't... get it. I feel like such a noob because of it. Can anyone help?
