I have a problem in that my video card is stuck in stereo shuttering
mode after log in to the workstation(even thought the option is turned
off in the video active profile).

To correct it I have to (Windows XP):
Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Quadro FX 1400 > Performance
& Quality Settings > under advanced settings, click Stereo display mode
and then reselect 'Use nView Clone Mode' and click Apply.

Once that is done I can run VMD in the stereo display setting 'Crystal
eyes' and get very good 3D with a pair of NEC LT245 projectors in a
Geowall setup.

Unfortunately that setting is not kept after I log out. I have to go
thru the same process above when I log back in even after I've saved the
settings in the active profile for the card.

I tend to believe that this is an issue with the quadro driver(I've got
the latest ForceWare version 81.72 from HP) and I'll bring it up with
them but thought I'd inform this list. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
