Windows 7: Realtek HD equaliser backup/restore

Hi everyone,
i really need some help concerning my Realtek HD equaliser..
My computer crashed and i just installed a fresh version of Windows 7 ultimate x64 on my pc and i would like to know if its possible to get back my custom equaliser for Realtek HD sound manager!!!
like is it saved somewhere in my windows/program files!!
i hav got all backups of my previous hard drive..

Remarkably, the actual whereabouts of the EQ custom saved settings have eluded the most clever of us!

Last year there was a brief burst of excitement, when we thought we'd discovered where they got saved. Shortly thereafter, holes appeared in the theory... and it turns out the enthusiasm was unjustified. It was all false.

Alas, your best bet from now on is to take screenshots of the EQ settings once you're happy and save them. It would have been nice if Realtek had put a digital scale on the sliders, or maybe a number would appear if you hover th mouse over a slider, so you'd at least know EXACTLY what each slider's value was (rather than just have a visual screenshot)... but alas, not to be.

===>> NO. Realtek's pretty much made this function 100% proprietary, from one install to the next.

awww am so0 unlucky then!!!!!
i'll hav to spnd sme time again adjusting the EQ
can smeone suggest me a nice custom EQ !!! ive got a 5.1 Altec Lansing
