    Whichever element you want centered – set an explicit width and then set left/right margins to auto

    #main { width:995px; margin:0 auto; }

    …this will center the element in its parent. If you were to center #main, it would be centered on the page (assuming your body has 100% width)

    EDIT

    Try making your background image apply to #main instead of body. Or, center the background image using background-position, or shorthand:

    body { background:url(../back.gif) repeat-y center top; }

    Cheers
