The first error is like it says: a table row element cannot have a height attribute set. You could simply set the height attribute to one of the <td> elements within that row and it should affect all the others, or it might be possible to use the height property on the <tr> element via CSS.

All the other errors are because you're using an <embed> tag in your page. The <embed> tag isn't in the HTML 4.01 specification, instead there's <object> and <param>. I've never used any of these tags so I can't really tell you exactly how to do convert, however take a look at this page and it tells you how to do it, and what the problems with each method are.

In addition to the points sacrilege made, I would point out that at the top of the validation results info is a link to the HTML 4.01 Transitional spec used to validate your page.
