A. Some links are programmed to open in a new window and may be blocked by pop-up blockers. Generally most can be bypassed by holding [Ctrl] while clicking the link.

Some newer browsers have "tabs" and the link may open in a new "tab" in the same browser window. Check your tabs to see if it has opened there.

Many links are programmed to re-use the new window or tab. They will open in the same window/tab in which a previous link (from our site) opened.

If this problem is persistent, please contact support@simwright.com. Be sure to explain your problem, what page it is on, and what browser and version you are using.

A. Stereo capable video cards have an actual stereo port on them that is regularly mistaken as the common s-video port. NuVision Glasses are connected to this port. The port pin connectors are configured in the diagram below. If your card has this port, it is stereo capable.

Currently only the 3DLabs VP760 and above series and NVIDIA's Quadro4 700 XGL (or above) and Quadro FX series cards are stereo enabled.
