Hi

I have put together a css menu for a clients website, and i've hit a few problems with one of the dropdown menus in particular which causes a horizontal scrollbar to appear when you first open the page. When you view the site on a smaller screen the sub menu option for Financial Solution Online shifts over to the left (I'm currently using 1680 x 1050 so i dont see this issue unless i minimise the browser)This problem exists both in IE and FFox. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue with the Financial sub menu? I know it has something to do with the negative margin-left value, can I achieve the positioning on this particular submenu another way?

I enclose the relevent css below
