starting the Windows media player from the UNO?

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

so is it possible that you could "challenge" me with some hints, of what to write in the sketch?

// Global variables
int currState1;
int prevState1;
int currState2;
int prevState2;

void loop()
{
   currState1 = digitalRead(kon1);
   if(currState1 != prevState1)
   {
      // A transition occurred - from pressed to released or from released to pressed
      if(currState1 == HIGH)
      {
         // The transition was to whatever state HIGH represents
         // Could be pressed or released, depending on how the
         // switch is wired

         // Do whatever needs to be done once when the switch is HIGH
      }
   }
   prevState1 = currState1;
}

I'm guessing that you can figure out what needs to be done for the other pin, and what needs to be merged where in that code, based on the comments.

You do have external resistors wired with your switches, don't you? Not that I understand why you don't keep it simpler and use the internal pullup resistors.
