Ewww, ASP.
Aside from my gripes about your choice of hosting/technologies, you wont get any flaming on this site (and if you do we'll delete it). As for the problem: Can't easily see anything wrong in your CSS. In my copy of IE (6 Win2K) the content is forced below the menu. This could be due to this line:
margin: 0 0 0 170px;'In your #content div. Try reducing that 170px. You could also add z-index to your #content div and/or menu, making one simply sit on top of the other. There's some good information on z-index at: http://css.somepeople.net/zindex.
While that example uses position: absolute; you probably want position: relative; on your page.
Hope this helps
