Designing for wide screens

I've inherited the job of maintaining a Front page 2003 Website with no prior
FP experience. My server workstation has the traditional monitor. On this
site, I tried to add a "New" attention image to the CITA service order
request. It is where I want it on the preview. When I get back to my own
computer with 20" wide screen it is askew. Also if you click on Contact us
from that same page, the building image is off center in widescreen but
centered on normal screens. Is there anything I can do to center it for all
screens (centered) to the table. Here is the site:

If you go to Contact Us, you will see a similar problem. When I tried to just
put the picture of our building in without a layer or a text box, and it also
shifts kind of funny. It looks even worse in Firefox

The Contact Us page building image looks fine in both IE7 & FF, maybe you're
seeing cached pages in your browser, try hitting F5 when view the Contact Us
page.
