Mike, I looked at the HTML code on your page. In spite of using MS Word as your editor, it was not too bad. I even looked at the page in Netscape and it looked okay there also. Mostly the errors encounter were nested error or no starting tags.
Here are some examples of a nesting error &ltfont&gt&ltb&gtNesting Error&lt/font&gt&lt/b&gt . Notice how you start with a font bold but end with a bold font. This can slow down page loading.
An example of a starting tag without an ending tag is like &ltb&gt but no &lt/b&gt to close it.

Cosmetically the page was pretty busy. Too many things going at once but that may be the result that you desired. The weight of the document in spite of all the images wasn't that bad either. Although I think that too many animated gifs can cause problems like you are having. Why don't you cut down on the animated gifs and use some still images instead. Just my two cents worth.
