Is there a way to have site auto resize to fill the whole screen for people
who set there monitors at a different resolution.
 
Place the content of your pages in a main table set to 100% width.

You will need to do some testing to see how it looks in different resolutions, because if not done
properly items tend to shift around using this method.

You have a fixed width table set at 770 pixels.

<TABLE WIDTH=770 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>

Are you saying that you want to control how the page opens in a browser?
People don't like that and many don't view their browser window full screen.

No, what I am saying is that the person who the web site is being designed
for has his monitor resolution set at 600 x 800. Most people are at aleast
1024 x 768. For those people the site looks like crap.
 
True, but not everyone actually opens their browser at full screen resolution.

You'd have to switch to a fluid table design. Currently, your site is set for 770 px width table (which is too big anyway for 800x600)...it can be redesigned but it's gonna take some work.

I think you may find that many are still set at 800 x 600 .... whether we
designers like it or not. For one site I have done 45% are at 800 x 600 and
38% are at 1024 x 768. For another it's 48% vs. 36%

And the 38% at 1024 x 768 is meaningless because you have no idea if they are using full screen for all browsing

Use tables to to your layout; set the table(s) using a percentage (in the
table properties/width box)rather than a pixel size.

You can use "nested tables" (that is a table within a table within a
table....etc). So make one large table at 100%, then insert a new table
within that other table, and make the second one, say 98% or whatever, and
go from there.

agreed - because at 1024 x 768 there's about a 1/5th of the screen that is
just white space, that would otherwise accommodate the expanding table to
match the screen resolution.
