Something is strange, I don't know much about this stuff but it seems important to you to have encryption working. It is so easy these days to install an OS automagically I would, in your case, make a fresh installation on some other machine and do what it is you want to do to prove a point. Then once you see it working you have confidence. Cheers Mick
