I copy/paste the code and when I resize it the scroll bar is there.

Hi,

You had inserted position fixed in the nav class also, so delete that one.

logo {
	position: fixed;
	background-image: url(../images/logo/logo2.png);
	width: 567px;
	height: 252px;
	top: 8px;
	left: 775px;
}
 
.nav {
	top: 70px;
	left: -20px;
}
