You can't change the colors of the media buttons and they will only come on when you push a button, you can't change that either. To make the buttons open up Windows Media Player (God knows why you would use a player like that

, not really, everyone has their choice media player) you have to edit the registry. Search the forums and you will pull up a couple threads. The only problem I had is that the instructions posted were a little confusing and I didn't really understand what to do.
