I cannot open either page you mention in IE8 - the home page contains a
blocked add-in (might be the cause of the FrontPage problems) and the other
gives File Not Found error.

That page opens, but you should remove all spaces from the file name -
spaces break links in some browsers, and in newsreaders such as Windows
Live Mail.

When you fix this page - it needs fixing as it is about 1800px wide -
remember that the space bar is not a design tool. The non-breaking spaces
created by leaning on the space bar cause the excessive width.

As for your home page - use an FTP program such as Filezilla to download
it, then edit in Notepad to remove anything that looks strange, probably in
<script...> or <object...> tags.
Make a backup of the page so you can replace any "good" scripts or objects
you remove trying to find the errant one.
Since I can't open the page, I can't help with this.

With JavaScript disabled I get this error page:

One Moment Please...

To help optimize how your Web pages are displayed, we are checking to see
if a 2007 Microsoft Office program is installed.

If this page does not automatically redirect, you have scripts disabled.
See more information on scripts.

Follow this link if the page is not redirected.

So it looks like a JavaScript ( <script...> ) is causing the problem,
though the root cause may be something else that utilises MS Office
programs.

What resalution should it be??? And I'm lost with the whole spacebar
thing...I don't know how to HTML...

I'l try it but like I said I don't know HTML so I wouldn't know what I'm
looking for.

Resolution has nothing to do with the width of a page.
Your page is roughly 1800px wide. The content is only about 1140px wide
(width of widest table) but could possibly be smaller than that.
I design for a browser portal width of 800px, many others design for
970px - the choice is yours and has to suit the page content.

Open the page in Code View.
Look for &nbsp; (that's & n b s p ; without the spaces, in case the
version without spaces gets changed to a space character)
Where you see three or more together, delete all but two of them.

The page layout will change, but you can use tables to align all the page
elements.
Also take a good look at the HTML tutorials at http://www.w3schools.com
