In addition to Ray's notes here are a few other coding things that should
be changed.  Some are minor in nature:

The command to align the IMG tags needs to have an = sign as in align=middle

All <font> tags must be closed with a </font>

<body background="star.gif TEXT="#000000" " LINK="#660066" VLINK="#9900ff">
is missing the closing quote after the star.gif and has an extra quote
before the LINK  this is probably the reason the background doesn't show.

The trekline.gif's should be preceded by a BR because in wider browsers (I
run at 1024 x 768) the dividers end up to the right of the text they are
presumedly supposed to be under.

This arrangement,  <TR><CENTER><TD> is not correct code.
The Center tag can go *before* a table or *inside* a TD but not in between
a  TR and TD ie:
<CENTER><TABLE>...stuff...</TABLE></CENTER> is OK

<TABLE><TR>
<TD><CENTER>...stuff.</CENTER></TD>
<TD>...stuff...</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE> is also OK
(but it would be better just to write <TD ALIGN=CENTER>...</TD>

Actually nothing should ever go in between a <TR> and a <TD>.

Well I hope this helps.

And just a minor minor suggestion, you might consider changing
<center><H1>...</H1></center> to the following:

<h1 align=center>

Finally, and most importantly, this must be on the bottom of your page
</BODY>
</HTML>

Oh heck, I am sending you the corrected code in a private email.  See if it
works for you.  :-)

BTW, the graphics and general look of your page is very nice.

Um, when you say the star trek borders should go all the way across the
screen I presume you mean the graphics.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding here
but their size is fixed if that is what you are wondering.  They will
appear to be different sizes on different monitors.
