I would recommend first setting up a IEFix.css or something and add
Code:
<!--[if IE]><style type="text/css">LINK TO IEFIX.CSS STYLESHEET</style><![endif]-->
Then add your two main IDs in that file, #main-nav and #content. All you need is something like
Code:
#main-nav {
width: WIDTH;
}
#content {
width: WIDTH;
}
From there I would play with the widths, and see if you can get something to work.
