Re: [Unresolved Issue] "Prototype Test Only. NVIDIA Confidential." Error Message
Been chatting to Chris and some engineers overnight. SHould have a solution very soon by the looks of things, or at least a solid explanation.
The issue is to do with a combination of factors, including VBIOS, SBIOS and driver version.
Can someone please test to see if this still occurs when using the current DELL RELEASE 26X bios . It still happens for me, but dell engineers claim it shouldn't.Alienware M18x | Dual 2GB 6990M | Intel i7 Extreme 2960XM with factory overclock to 4GHz | 16GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600MHz

Re: [Unresolved Issue] "Prototype Test Only. NVIDIA Confidential." Error Message
I installed the A01269.03 R308308.exe driver. As soon as I loaded up Sonic Generations in 3D, the Prototype Error showed up. After that I tried Crysis 2. Same Prototype Error showed up. I restarted and tried Crysis 2. Same error. Luckily, I didn't get stuck in a permanent loop of the error message after disabling 3D this time. Please let engineering know that both Dell video drivers along with the latest Dell VBIOS still produce the problem.

Re: [Unresolved Issue] "Prototype Test Only. NVIDIA Confidential." Error Message
For now, I've uninstalled the Nvidia 3D Vision driver until Dell can resolve the issue. It's not worth being stuck with that error regardless of 3D. I really hope Dell gets this resolved soon because the 3D coming from the M18x is sooo much more immersive than what the PS3 can output. It really bites not being able to use this feature.

Re: [Unresolved Issue] "Prototype Test Only. NVIDIA Confidential." Error Message
Because I prefer 240hz, I bought a 24" 240hz Playstation 3D Display. The same "Prototype" error plagues 269.03 and Playstation 3D Display. To use the display I have to uninstall Nvidia 3D Vision. Just like my other 3D Samsung TV's. This problem is not limited to 3D TV brand and/or beta drivers.

Maybe give this new driver a go when you get a chance. I don't have an M18x anymore to test.
