how to back up EQ settings in x-fi control panel

BiGBrOwNPimpsta

I hate tweaking my EQ again and I lose the settings if I reinstall the driver or format my comp etc. I have a setting which i want to keep how can I back this custom profile? I don't know if it saves a little file like winamp used to do (i think)

Hmm... IIRC, theres a file named something like

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative\CADI\Preset\PCI_BUSXXXX-X-XXXXXXXX-XXXX.dat

(X's are numbers)
[COLOR=LightBlue][COLOR=White](path name may be different for your setup)[/COLOR][/COLOR]

BTW,
[COLOR=LightBlue]On Audigy/Live! series cards, this info can be found from registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Creative Tech\Component Installed\{695120D5-831C-4508-B04B-8CCE0214ED10}
(CLSID number may be different)

and

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-1078081533-839522115-500\Software\Creative Tech\Component Installed\{695120D5-831C-4508-B04B-8CCE0214ED10}

(CLSID number and registry 'path' name may be different)


and maybe from files named as

C:\WINDOWS\{00000001-00000000-00000001-00001102-00000004-00531102}.CDF
C:\WINDOWS\{00000001-00000000-00000001-00001102-00000004-00531102}.BAK

(path and numbers may be different for your setup)[/COLOR]

hmm... doesn't have a descript and the x-fi drivers are fairly different from the audigy.

Maybe it's a system file ... you can't see if you have certain security options enabled for folder options (Explorer->Options->Folder options-->View -tab ... hide system files/show hidden files/etc.).

If you search using PCI_BUS*.dat ... don't you find the file?
Open the command line window (start run... cmd), and give commands one by one followed by enter

C:
cd\
dir pci_bus*.dat /s

(If your system installation isn't on C: drive then change the drive letter)
