F media has to be running to use the remote control and fax works, but it may interfere with your internet connection.  the solution is simple to get F media to stop loading on boot up you need to REM out the run line in the Win.ini file:

[windows]
load=
run=c:\fmedia\fmedia.exe c:\nav\nav.exe
Then when you want to use one of those wonderful programs that needs Fmedia, simply run f-media manually.

NEED the drivers for F media, get them here from PB Europe.

Q - I just bought a 233mhz PB with "media select"....does anyone have any experience with these buttons??....Ii want to be able to hit the internet button and not go through "my way"....i've got a couple other questions about the device....thank you for any and all help

A- Change to the directory where MyWay resides, probably C:\Program Files\MyWay, and run a little program there called Isp_sel.exe.  That program disables the automatic PB internet registration, and it will use your default Internet service.
---- I have seen a post here on the 31 of October 1997 from Tom D. and he detailed how to Reconfigure MediaSelect buttons.  I've done it myself and it worked to perfection.  I
haven't seen a reply from him to your question. So here's a reproduction of the post :

 "I had the same problem and the easiest way is to edit your Registry.  Be very careful and back it up first before you go tinkering in there, as you can sometimes cause your machine not to boot if you mess up

Click START - RUN Type REGEDIT
Open REGEDIT ; go to the following subdirectory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PBR\FMedia\2.0\Internet
You will see three (3) entries in there , the last two of which are as follows:
"Application Path"="C:\\Program Files\\MYWAY"
"Application Module"="starter.exe"
Determine what directory your internet application software is in , and then the program (module) that executes your software.  Double click on Application Path , delete what's in there , and very carefully type in the path to your internet software ; click OK. Then double click on the Application Module , delete what's in there and very carefully type in your internet program ; click OK . That should do it . You need to shut down and reboot for the changes to take effect.  For example , I use AT&T Worldnet and I edited my registry to now read as follows:
"Application Path"="C:\\Program Files\Worldnet\Wns12\Programs"
"Application Module"="connect.exe"
Good luck!
Tom D

I think this would be a good info to post on someone's web site someday for everyone who missed the previous post. I hoped this as helped you and good luck."

Well thanks Tom we were listing and I put it on my pages for those that need this info.  I do not have media select on my PB so I can not try it out on my system. i hope it works for all of you.

Another way is to format the Hard drive and reinstall just what you want, only do this if you know what you are doing because you might loose valuable drivers or other problems.  This is a lot of work.

I have also seen people recommend just killing the Nav directory, well that works fine if you edit your Win .ini.  But it leaves some files behind including the registry settings and you want to keep that registry clean when ever possible.

If you have other methods then contact me and I will add them.
