menu expansion on certain PCs

I am continuing to have an issue with certain PCs concering the menu text expanding out. This is not an issue of View>text>size. Most PCs are able to render the menu fine; however some want to expand the text out. This is not an easy thing to duplicate. Current I have two machines with clients where this is occuring. Here are links to my examples and the milonic menu code for the Fiz site. Any assitance that you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Try the newest version of the menu, making sure you keep this one in case there are any other anomalies with your site and the new verions. Also, what OS and browsers are causing this problem. It's hard to test if we don't know which those are.

As a test, try removing your style sheet and see if the problem still occurs. It's the first thing I do when trying to narrow what is causing a problem.

This is the weird thing. Both of the PCs where this is occuring are using XP-Pro and IE 6.
