Time to stop the guesswork :-)

Do it this way:
<TD style="HEIGHT: 1px"><IMG alt="" src="index_files/x.gif"></TD></TR>
instead of
<TD style="HEIGHT: 1px"><IMG alt="" src="index_files/x.gif"> </TD></TR>

and
<TD ...><IMG alt="" src="index_files/x.gif"></TD></TR>
instead of
<TD ...><IMG alt="" src="index_files/x.gif">
</TD></TR> ...

Note the whitespace before the </td> in each case. A space in the first one
and a newline, tab,tab or space,space in the second one.

IE incorrectly *uses* that whitespace. Modern browsers correctly ignore it.
