My site looks bad on a Windows XP System

I built a site using Dreamweaver MX2004 on a Mac G5 OS 10.3.4. I test how it
looks in IE 5.2 on my Mac and in IE 6.0 on a Windows XP computer. I used tables
and layers to build the site. When I view it on a Windows PC I get white gaps
between my tables. Here is the path to the site to see what I am talking about.

How do I fix this?

Thank you in advance for any help provided.

I tried your suggestion of removing the height code but it didn't change the
look.
Do you have any other tricks to try?

Is this Mac to Windows a common problem or did I just get lucky?

Thanks for your help.

No. In this case, IE6 is letting you know you are missing a closing
</th> tag.

Change this:
<th align="left" valign="top" scope="col"><a href="index.htm"><img
src="images/Masthead.jpg" width="800" height="171" border="0"></a>

To this:
<th align="left" valign="top" scope="col"><a href="index.htm"><img
src="images/Masthead.jpg" width="800" height="171" border="0"></a></th>

Correction. I see you nested a table inside the TH (not a good idea, but
valid). So, the problem is white space in your markup. Move the opening
table tag of the table that is nested inside the TH up to the same line
as the closing </a> tag for your masthead image's home page link:

<th align="left" valign="top" scope="col"><a href="index.htm"><img
src="images/Masthead.jpg" width="800" height="171" border="0"></a><table
width="197" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
