so i made a website for my band www.nemesis-metal.com and iv been happy with it but i just realised.. i made the site to look good on my computer in firefox and IE but my computer is in highest res, all the people im showing the site to are in lower res and it just doesnt look good like that, on the lowest res you dont even get half the page with out scrolling over, so my question is, how can i make it so the site ether looks the same in all resolutions, or make it so it looks like one full page with out the side scroll bar in low res and have it smaller and centered in high res with out re-making the entire site?

i am very new to webdesign and basicaly self taught, i didnt even use a CSS for this site, so any help would be very apreciated!

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but yes, I'd remake the whole site. It's a fixed-width design based on images of text. I'd redo it to use real text and to avoid using large images that force a specific width of page. And I'd get rid of the microfonts, and specify a font size of 100% (or 1.0em) for the body text (the main content text).
