---- Scollbars cause page shift

I have written a number of fixed width web pages (750px) centered on the screen. Some pages are obviously larger than others ie. some require the browser to place a scroll bar and some do not.

When using IE 6 (PC) all is well, but if I use Opera 7.2 or Firebird 0.7 (and others) and switch from a page with a scroll bar to one without and back again the whole page shifts to the right and back again. It looks ugly, and to repeat the page stays solid when using IE, is there anyway of getting those other browsers to be as equally obliging. This is probably a daft question, but thought it worth asking.
