TrueCrypt 4.2a on Vista: DON'T USE!


I said in a previous post that despite the advice from the author I was keeping using TrueCrypt on Vista, but I have now to update my comments urgently. As long as you just read files or execute them from an encrypted TrueCrypt volume on Vista, everything's fine. I'm talking about files written previously under windows XP. But as soon as you try to write to it, save data to the volume , you'll get data corruption , unreadable files, also impossible to delete. SO WAIT FOR THE NEXT VERSION BEFORE YOU USE TRUE CRYPT ON VISTA!

ps: also saving from a dialog box make appear the same TrueCrypt volume mounted on 2 bloody drive letters, instead of just the one you chose.

don't get me wrong: TrueCrypt is a fantastic program that I've used for a long time under windows XP. Here is a link to the page where the author announces future features of TrueCrypt.
