......If Yes design for 1038x 748 minimum........

I hope that's a misprint ..... at 1038 half of the country probably have a horizontal scroll bar, since 1024 is a very common resolution.

How can you expect that a site that is put together graphically, can stretch to fill the available window. The final design will NEVER look like it's supposed to, and that's the whole point of designing it graphically in the first place!

I have not got any idea how old you are, but you would be surprised at the large number of older users with bad eyesight etc. still use 800 x 600. At my last office, I administered the office network and at least 25% of the office users were using 800 x 600.
