If the computer is turned on or in standby mode

If you press the Dell MediaDirect button while the computer is turned on or in standby mode, either Windows XP Media Center Manager or Dell Media Experience™ launches, depending on your system setup. If both applications are present, Windows XP Media Center Manager launches.

NOTE: If both Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition and Dell Media Experience are installed on your computer, you must launch Dell Media Experience. Click StartAll Programs or click the Media Experience icon on the desktop.

If the computer is turned off or in hibernate mode

When your computer is turned off or in hibernate mode, you can press the Dell MediaDirect button to start the computer and automatically launch the Dell MediaDirect application.
