Thief Gold, EAX, windows 7-Works 100%

Question

%Thief Gold, EAX, windows 7-Works 00%9 I just installed Thieft Gold .33 from the Eidos Thief Collection for Windows Vista.
EAX works just fine with the new version of Alchemy.
The game installs to this directory:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos\Thief Gold for 64 bit
or c:\program files\Eidos\Thief Gold for 32 bit.
you can manually insert the path for Alchemy. Then upon restarting your game, you will be able to select EAX with no problem.
I later added the widescreen resolution fix found here:

the important thing was to get the game to run normally, then enable EAX to make sure it worked. People often get crashes with multi-core processors and higher end video cards that they dont fix first, and they believe EAX to crash the game too. EAX worked with no problems, then I fixed everything else.

Creative's newest version of Alchemy .4 already has some games "pre configured" in its .ini file. But all of the preconfigurations are for 32 bit operating systems. So you can simply add the game in alchemy from the left to the right side, and there you can edit its registry entry that is "automatically picked up."?
From the Alchemy .ini file for example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Eidos\Hitman Contracts\InstallDir
This is the default option for how the game would install on Vista and Windows 7. If you install the game, your system realizes that you have HITMAN: Contracts and Alchemy uses these settings.
But inside the game you will not be able to check the "USE EAX" checkbox, or it will not stay checked if you do if you are running that same game on a 64 bit operating system.
so you can simply change the key to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Eidos\Hitm an Contracts\InstallDir
And the game worked perfectly. I did patch it to the newest version before configuring anything in its menu. I also altered the Alchemy setting before configuring the game too, thus I had absolutely no problems with EAX.
