Now, none of these people has been able to tell me whether or not the text that is to the right of the images appears in the spot where the images are so that I could say that the layout is messed too.
Here's the code and applicable css:
.margin-rightmedium{margin:0px 15px 0px 0px;}
.downloadtext{width: 350px;}
<ol>
<li>blah blah blh</li>
<li>blah blah blah<br><br>

Now, both the css and the html failed validation but they were two minor errors, one dealing with the url that sends info to somescript.pl, and the one dealing with a -moz-list-bullet that I had to use to make something work on Netscape. This is the second layout I tried to fix the problem. Before, I had the picture inside the divs. I was hoping moving them outside would solve the problem. I hate to resort to a table layout just to see if it will work.
Its strange cause I can't replicate the error on my machine and we have the SAME SETUP. Both of us have Win XP and IE 6.
width="88" height="31"
Three words: Norton Internet Security. The "head cheese" is running it, and you're not. The above image size is blocked by default by NIS as a standard ad size. Workaround: change the image size to 89x31 - you won't notice the difference in the image, and the evil, horrible, bug-ridden NIS won't block it.
