I think you've got it backwords... the OP absolutely does NOT want the
browser to scale the image, he WANTS scrollbars if the image is too
large.

The big three PC based browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) will automatically
scale an image to fit the browser window (by default, which can be
disabled). Putting it in a table has the effect, which I tested on all
three, of not scaling the image, so that a large image produced
scrollbars instead of being scaled. That's what the OP wanted.
