This is because your server is telling browsers (and the validator) to use UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 for page's encoding. The W3C validator will let you manually set the encoding to ISO-8859-1. Then it will check the page.
This bit of code will not validate even when you fix the body tag problem.
<div class="Object150"><CENTER><img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=pbr1.dat&dd=B"></div>
I don't see how VSD would be able to figure out how to fix this. So this is something that needed to be done right the first time, but it isn't going to hurt anything.

I just opened it in Html Editor 2008 and it appears to have four <body> statements. Should I have removed that one with that code too?
Is something wrong with 4 of them?

If the page you have up now is current, then you don't have four body tags. Something is wrong if you have more than one, and you still have two, just like you did before. The one you needed to remove is still there.
You had this:
<BODY
BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#ffffff" LINK="#ffffff" VLINK="#ffffff" ALINK="#FF0000" >
BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#ffffff" LINK="#ffffff" VLINK="#ffffff" ALINK="#FF0000" >
Now you just have this:
<BODY
It too needs to be removed.

I'd also like to get that CSS stuff out of there. My html skills are so basic that I dont know how to write with it. I think I was trying the CSS program and that put it in there. But if I could safely take it all out and have the same site, I'd rather.

All of the CSS was created by VSD and it all needs to be there.

From what I've seen, it can only fix coding errors introduced by previous versions of VSD. It can't fix coding errors from other sources.
