Remote Control on 1330 does not work. Do I need software?

I am answering my own post because I was able to find the answer doing some online research. (Dell support only told me (incorrectly) that the remote would not work with Win 7 (or that Win 7 wasn't supported on the M1330, which isn't exactly the same thing.)..but they had no help for me.) It is apparently a registry setting that is not turned on that prevents the travel remote from working in Windows 7. Here is the instruction for making the change: Enable Universal Remote Control - If you have a universal remote control you may need to enable it. A reboot is required for this setting to take effect. Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da Registry value - EnableDebounce Registry value data type - REG_DWORD Registry value data - 1 = enable universal remote control; 0 = disable universal remote control I was not able to find the exact key as my first key ended in db rather than da (all else was the same). I made the value change in the "db" key and also the "dc", just to be safe. I think it was already 1 in the key ending in df. I don't think that it would hurt to change others if the first two don't enable the remote, but in my case, that is all it took. Reboot before trying the remote. Dell should really have this fix available from their support team.

This is what I'm looking for, Thanks for your effort! It's comprehensive.
