Using MediaDirect

NOTE:
QuickSet, which is automatically installed and enabled on your computer, is necessary for
MediaDirect to function. Changing or disabling QuickSet's default settings can limit MediaDirect's
functionality. For more information about Dell QuickSet, see the Dell Inspiron Help file. To access the help
file, see "Finding Information" on page 9.

can use MediaDirect to launch your media application by pressing the media control play
button .

Edition will launch.

computer from any state and automatically launch the media application.
