This is a hack to change the word "Start" on your Windows XP computer to something else.
(EDIT!: I fixed the audio sync error!)

All that was was Windows telling me that avast! needed to be updated, my touch pad was disabled (because I was using an external mouse) and that I was on a new residential gateway (new router).
