I'm pretty sure that you would always select "120Hz time sequential" for 3DVision ???

I have been told that my refresh-force fix works on a DVI connected LCD so maybe it could also work for DLP?

If Cyberlink just added a "Use Desktop settings for 3D" tick box they could fix this...

Glad to hear it… but it would be a lot easier if Cyberlink just added a menu to select the resolution and refresh rate for 3D mode! In the mean time this fix worked for me on my CRT, it might also work on LCDs - but don’t blame me if it goes wrong!

Run it as an administrator and remove ALL modes except the resolution you want to use for PDVD and set the refresh rate for that resolution to 120 (100 / 110 might also work, 160Hz works on my CRT!) LCD users should just add the max / native resolution of your panel, you might also need to use device manager to change the monitor driver to “Generic Non-PNP Monitor” (you can force it by selecting “Let me choose the driver” in the driver update wizard)

I added the same resolution set in refresh force as a custom resolution in the Nvidia control panel, and also make sure the “Hide modes this monitor can not display” box is not ticked in the windows display properties. I also used the show_non_present_devices command to remove all “phantom” monitor and infrared devices from device manager before I did this, not sure if it helped, info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241257

Remember you MUST reboot after making any changes before you try PowerDVD! I hope this info can help someone, good luck with it…

I have the same problem as the OP using PDVD10 with 3D Vision on my CRT (VGA), it just gets stuck in a loop trying to change resolution / refresh rate.

I have tried setting my desktop to 1024x768 or 1280x900 @ 120Hz but PowerDVD just ignores it, are there any config files or registry keys we can change to manually set the resolution / refresh rate for PowerDVD?

The best I can do at the moment is 85Hz which isn't really watchable for more than a few minutes, does anyone know what resolution PowerDVD is trying to set for full screen mode?

I just get a black screen (with the mouse pointer visable) and the green light on the emitter turns on and off about once a second, do you guys using LCDs get the same thing?

thanks
