To install the ADA885/Audigy Bass Cancellation patch:
(NOTE: steps 1-4 were already done if you're  reading this; begin with step 5)
1) Download and save this file to a known location on your hard drive.
2) After saving, navigate to that location and run the program: ABassFix.exe
3) A WinZip window will open; click "UnZip".
4) The files were extracted to C:\BassFix; click "OK"; click "Close".
5) Navigate to the folder C:\BassFix and run the program: ADA885-Audigy.exe
6) Click "Yes" to install the Speaker Patch.
7) When complete, the system will need to be restarted before the patch is applied; click "OK" or    "Cancel" (to restart later)

The following occurs when running this patch program:
* There are no files copied to the system; a Registry entry is updated/changed.
* The program cannot be uninstalled, because the installation runs an executable file, named       ctinv.exe, that writes the registry entry but cannot write a log file for un-installation.
* To check the registry change, check the following key :
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech\Settings]
   If 'Look' = 0xffffffff, the patch is in effect. (ON)
   If 'Look' = 0x0, the patch is NOT in effect. (OFF)

Each time the patch is run, the program announces it's installing the ADA885 speaker patch. In actuality, each time it's run, it will toggle the value of the registry entry. In other words, it will change the registry entry each time it's run from ON, to OFF, to ON, to OFF, etc.
