DW MX does not display web pages the same as CS4: Dreamweaver MX display problem

DW MX does not display web pages the same as CS4

I normally use DW CS4 for my page editing, but the students in our web design class use DW MX. The class wants to do some editing on our district site, but when I provide them a copy of the site that I am using, the code does not display properly on their computers in design view. Because they use MX as a part of classroom instruction (including textbooks, support video,...), I can not easily change their version to CS4 (plus there is the cost of the upgrades, licensing and new books/materials that I would have to cover). Can somebody help me with why DW MX displays the site differently than CS4?

Notes: DW MX is patched to version 6.1. The site pages are formatted with tables and uses includes to read common code. I use a flash header (just a display, no navigation) and a Javascript cascading navigation menu with some CSS to control the appearance (code for default page shown below, screen shots are attached.

I seriously appreciate any help!
