Those issues are still fixable.

The unknown entities are because you haven't escaped the & character, so 
32.100.132/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=NAHROWEB&PRGNAME=TOCFRAME&ARG
would be written as
32.100.132/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=NAHROWEB&amp;PRGNAME=TOCFRAME&amp;AR
G

The other errors suggest that you've got <td>s that aren't in <tr>s (amongst
other things)

I know that NS4.x can be extremely fussy about tables at the best of times,
to try fixing these, and see what happens.

I corrected the fixable problems with the page so that only "errors"
below remain. I don't see how they would effect the display of the
vertical image. Still doesn't fix the table/image problem in Netscape
4.76.

To restate the problem, there are vertical gold bars ("shim.gif" line
173) that should be 1px wide but appear to be about 5px wide.

Just to start out with, I'd run your page through the html validator at
http://validator.w3.org/.
