Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I looked at your home page with
a monitor set at 96 dpi, and it looked fine with one exception. But I will
get back to that.
I notice that you do not have that many pages, or that much text, so there
are a couple workarounds you could consider. The 120 and 96 dpi setting
primarily affects text. Given that you use very little text, you could
consider copying your text boxes, and then paste special back onto the page
as a picture, and substitute the picture for the text. This will not be as
affected by the different settings, if at all. The draw back of this
approach is that the web bots can not read the text after it has been
converted.
A second workaround you might consider is creating a second website on the
120 dpi machine, and uploading it to use for wide aspect monitors. I don't
know if it is worth the time or not, but if you are interested then consider
this Publisher built site with two languages:
http://www.somoscapazes.org/ If you click on the English link in the upper
left corner it will take you to the English version at
http://www.somoscapazes.org/english/index.htm , and click on Espanol to go
to the Spanish version.
This person built two websites, with two Publisher files, and uploaded the
second version to a subfolder they created on their host called 'english'.
You could do something similar and have a similar box telling people to look
at the other site if they are using a wide screen monitor...something like a
small text box that says "Using a wide screen monitor? click here"....or
something shorter. Or "Web site optimized for normal monitors, for wide
screen monitors, click here". Or some other text...
Then create a subfolder on your site called "wide". Create your second
website on the 120 dpi machine, and upload the html files and folders it
produces to that folder. The link to that site from your main site would
then be:
http://www.lancebissett.ca/wide/index.htm
As I said, there really isn't a good workaround for this issue, and I don't
know if it is worth it or not, but given the relatively few pages in your
site, it would not take much work.
As to the other issue I alluded to, your images are too large and take too
long to load. Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller
Publisher Web pages:

Very slow loading pages will be a bigger turnoff than the pages being a bit
skewed by the 96 vs. 120 issue. This one I would take the time to fix.
