NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver 337.88
Overview
NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver 337.88 is a software program developed by NVIDIA. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named nvStInst.exe. The setup package generally installs about 26 files and is usually about 28.78 MB (30,180,905 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 57% of users of NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Australia.
