On the right side you can see that there is a bunch of empty black blank space that I would like to remove, I think its a problem with the tables, any ideas?

Well, yes. You've got a fixed-width layout, and it uses tables. For starters, you could get rid of all the width attribute everywhere it occurs in a table.

But it looks like you're using tables to position content over specific areas of your background image, so you'll need to change that too. But that's okay, because that's an especially fragile design anyway.

But the point is, there isn't a simple fix. You need to redesign the layout of the site.

Ahhh, ok well thats a shame. I really liked my layout sad.gif

Are you saying by taking out the width I would be able to semi-fix or fully fix my problems?

Sort of, yes. You may find that you need width here or there, but in that case a width in % (or em) would keep the layout flexible.
