White XBOX remote w/ 7MC

Has anyone had success in getting an Xbox 360 remote to work with 7MC directly? I just purchased this one:

And hoped it could replace my Microsoft 1039 remote, using the IR receiver that came with it. It doesn't seem to work at all, despite numerous posts around the web suggesting it would. I only spent $15 on this thing, so no big deal if I goofed up - but I would love to find a way to make it work.

Change the address in the registry and it should work. I've posted details before. Maybe search Xbox address.

Thanks for the tip. I dug up the thread you were talking about and ended up here:

The important part is this:

Set Remote Control ID - To enable your Media Center to respond to a specific remote control ID do the following; 1. Press and hold the DVD Menu key on the remote then press a number button (1-8) for 5 seconds. Remotes with visible LED signal indicators will blink twice to confirm the change. 2. Enter that same number below. 3. Save. 4. Restart the Media Center PC. Note: To enable Media Center to respond to all remotes use the number 0. 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 - CodeSetNum0
Registry value data type - REG_DWORD
This setting also requires deleting the following registry values:

Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da
Registry value - CodeSetNum1
Registry value - CodeSetNum2
Registry value - CodeSetNum3
