Q I hear about the loss of laptops holding sensitive personal information. Is it possible to secure my laptop through encryption?
Jonathan Goddard, Lymington
A You can make data secure either on a file-by-file basis or across a whole disk. A popular free program is TrueCrypt (www.truecrypt.org), which provides extremely strong encryption for complete hard drives or individual files and folders. The software can also hide the data so they cannot be viewed at all.

Paul Martin, London
A Try the free DVD Flick application (www.dvdflick.net). It's small, simple and lets you create DVDs from clips in many different formats.
