Dear Sabuj, thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, I do not have the 3 pin mini din cable (in Europe and Asia is not included in the 3D Vision kit). However, I have finally been successful! The problem was that in order to find the correct Nvidia driver settings, I changed the settings and then I pressed the "apply" button looking at any changes in the visualization on the PyMOL window. However, I found out that the changes in the Nvidia driver settings even if they are stored in the memory they are really *not* applied to the graphics card until a restart of the OS! After a restart of the computer with the correct Nvidia settings (which I found for example in http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards.html) for my case the emitter turns on as soon as I opened PyMOL. Hope this can help other users which read this mailing list.
