Document Type override or the Character Encoding override

When I try to validate my web pages, I receive the following message.

DOCTYPE Override in effect! Any DOCTYPE Declaration in the document has been suppressed and the DOCTYPE for «HTML 4.01 Transitional» inserted instead. The document will not be Valid until you alter the source file to reflect this new DOCTYPE. 
The document located at <C:\My Webs\johnkay6\contents.htm> was tentatively found to be Valid. That means it would validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional if you updated the source document to match the options used (typically this message indicates that you used either the Document Type override or the Character Encoding override).

I have included the head section of my page, in hopes that someone can tell me what is wrong. This page has not been published yet. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
