IE/6 and down don't understand (do not support) position: fixed; [1] and revert to position: static; Google, subject line: position:fixed; will bring up hundreds of links attempting to deal with this problem. It is encouraging that Anne van Kesteren, Georg Sortun, and many other friends of the Web, share their work for work-around solutions in IE/6. Whatever drum you wish to follow, you may want to let your page run rail to rail, or set an overall horizontal width, so the page will be functional even if the user is not on a 1024 monitor.
