Default font is Tahoma 24pt to make the text readable. Sorry but this is one of the reasons I limit the use of floating elements on my own web designs. Simple table layouts are much more reliable and robust. Regards, J. I’m using a Compaq Evo N620c which has a weird resolution of 1400 by 1050. Default font is Tahoma 24pt to make the text readable.

I tried all resoltions between 1024*768 and 1280*1024 and could not see what you stated. About True Crypt. Well I can't tell you how this can be but I do not experience slow downs. Maybe it is some miliseconds slower than normal transfers.. Jules what is the resolution of your laptop ? I tried all resoltions between 1024*768 and 1280*1024 and could not see what you stated.

About True Crypt. Well I can’t tell you how this can be but I do not experience slow downs. Maybe it is some miliseconds slower than normal transfers..

There MUST be some overhead. As the data is de/encrypted on the fly there must be an overhead there plus the additional overhead of providing a virtualised drive. I do use TrueCrypt as it is a great tool and needs no installation either so I can use it anywhere I can run an application from a USB stick - but it does have an overhead. By the way, whilst I am commenting, you really need to do something with your site layout. In FireFox on my Compaq laptop, the left-hand bar appears at the top of the page instead of on the left unless I make the text so small I cannot read it. This doesn't happen with IE :( Jules. “no slow downs” – How can this be? There MUST be some overhead.
