1.Prerequisites :

1. Graphics Card/Compatible GPU ::We are going to use Nvidia 3D Vision technology for enabling the 3D effect.
Now, this technology only works in NVidia GeForce Graphics card (series 6,7,8) so Make sure you're having compatible graphics on your system.
Several ATI cards also supports 3D Vision tech. so just google it and make sure you have the right hardware. Any GPU (min 128mb GRAM will work for this).
In my case, its Nvidia GeForce 8400GT (256MB).




2. Compatible Monitor : You must be having a monitor that is running with minimum 60Hz  frequency. In my case, its 75Hz. If its 120Hz,then you'll get the BEST Result.


3. 3D Glasses
: A simple Red-Blue or Red-Cyan or Red-Green 3D Glasses for Anaglyphic3D effect. Polarized 3D Glasses won't work. for 3D Vision technology,so make sure you have the right pair of glasses.
                        In market there are many glasses available. Even Nvidia manufacturers 3D Glasses of paper but they won't fix if you're having (+)/(-) glasses already.
                        I suggest you to buy a Plastic Framed Glasses which gives you a very decent Result. Here's the Link if you wanna buy one.



2. Downloading Drivers :

1. First , You'll need NVidia GeForce Drivers version 181.22 for enabling the Stereoscopic Option in the NVidia Control Panel. (Only this version Works, The New and Updated drivers won't work.)
-  XP users download it from HERE. (77mb~)
-  Vista or 7 (32 bit) users Download it from HERE. (78mb~)
-  Vista or 7 (64 bit) users Download it from HERE. (96mb~)

2. Also , Download  GeForce Stereoscopic 3D Vision Drivers from HERE. (8mb~) 

Now, You are All done with downloading stuff.
Get Ready for installing the Drivers and Configuring your System.


3. Installing and Configuring thystem:


1. Uninstall the Current NVidia Graphics Driver of your System : First of all, As i said only this version of GeForce driver Works,so You have to Uninstall the Current version of the drivers from your system.
Just go to the Control Panel/Add or Remove Program and Uninstall the Current Driver from your system.Then Re-Start your PC.

2. Install the Downloaded NVidia GeForce 181.22 Driver.
After installing the Driver, Restart your PC.

3. Then Install the Stereoscopic 3D Vision Drivers.

NOTE :
if you get any error during the installation of this 3D vision drivers like "Your Current Drivers / GPU doesn't support the 3D Vision Technology." then Don't Panic.It Means that You've not Successfully Uninstalled the Previous Drivers or Your 181.22 were not installed successfully. In this Case, Remove all of the NVIDIA Product installation from your PC. Then Restart your PC.then Install 181.22 Again and then Install 3D Vision Drivers. It will surely help.

4. Now it Time to Add some Registry Patch
  
   First, Download the Registry from HERE. (3kb~)
   And extract all the reg files from it to your desktop folder (say 3D).
   Don't apply them now,as we need to configure the NVidia Panel.

5. Enable Stereoscopic Tab/Menu in NVidia Control Panel :

Now, goto your extracted folder and Just Double Click on "3dStereo.reg" file. Say YES when it asks.

Okay, now after applying this Patch. Goto Your Desktop and Right Click -> NVidia Control Panel.
 Now, you should be having a special Menu/Tab saying : Stereoscopic 3D like this. (Click on the Image to view it Large)





NOTE : If you're not getting NVidia Control panel then from that reg. folder that you've recently downloaded , apply the Reg. named  : "disableoldNV_CP.reg". This will disable your Old control panel and You can see the NVidia Control panel in right click menu.

Just Enable the Stereoscopic option in this Menu and You're all set to Play 3D Games!!!

6. Apply the 3D Glass Patch ::

Now, after you've successfully completed the previous steps. One Last Steps is to Change the 3D Game Display according to your 3D Glass.

Say if you're having RED-CYAN Glass : Apply a Registry named "3dStereo_redblue.reg" from that Folder.
For Red-Green and Yello-Blue Glass, apply accordingly.



4. Testing 3D game :

You can check the game compatibility in the Options of NVidia Control Panel -> Stereoscopic options -> Game Compatibility .




Now, Install a famous game Like : Farcry,NFS (any version), FIFA,POP etc.

Start the game.Put on Your 3D Glasses.
If Everything is right, you should be playing 3D game Now.



5. Error Solving :



E0 :  No 3D Output : correct that you've installed 181.22 drivers only and then installed the 3D Vision Drivers.
E1 : Display Gone : Sorry, your NVidia Hardware was not compatible with 181.22 to install that  drivers. Just Restore your PC to earlier version.
E2 : 3D game is running Slow : Ofcourse, its 3D. But Try this : First check your Monitor Frequency : if its 70Hz above then game will run smoothly. Then if still doesn't work, Lower the Resolution of your game and Play.This will definately work.
E4 : No Stereoscopic Tab/Menu in NVidia COntrol Panel : 
    -First Run this registry : disableoldNV_CP.reg
    - Restart your PC.
    - Then run this Registery : 3dStereo.reg from that folder.
    -Restart again.
The StereoScopic Menu should be there.
If its still not there, Check that you're having 181.22 GeForceware driver installed.
