System specs,

Samsung 840 120gb SSD
500gb caviar blue HDD
intel i5 3570k (ivy bridge)
gtx 650 ti boost Sc
MSI z77 mobo
8gb Corsairs Vengeance ram
corsairs 430w plus bronze psu

windows is on my sdd along with a few other programs, everything else is on HDD. I updated to windows 8.1 and now when i go to play a game i get a message on the bottom right corner that says either game is fair good or normal, than it says press alt tab insert to remove mesg. and it also gives me setting . The screen is tinted and most games show blurry like its 3D and i need glasses or something this is weird and this is the 1st time this has happened to me i am guessing its due to windows 8.1 update. please help :(

I had this too. Easy. Go to your desktop, right click, nvidia control panel. On the left there should be something that says stereoscopic 3D. Click it and uncheck the "Enable stereoscopic 3D".
 
Solution
Same here. Above answer correct.

Windows 8.1:
a) Windows uninstalled my antivirus solution so I had to reinstall that. Windows Defender also wouldn't run in AUTO mode giving me an error. I turned it OFF in the settings.

b) You can REMOVE the "windows.old" data from the update using the normal C-drive CLEANUP utility.

I didn't experience that issue, but I use Malwarebytes and Kaspersky.

aww man thanks so much, this was starting to stress me out and it was giving me a hard time. I wiped out my ssd and re-installed windows 8 and everything. A lot of stuff got erased but im just glad my PC is back to normal. thanks a lot it was a easy fix however i never used the nvidia control panel before so it would have probably taken me awhile to do this on my own.
