Alright, here's my problem:

When I turn on the computer, it opens the screen that asks which mode I want to start with, safe mode, normal mode etc.  Whatever mode I pick, it next goes to a black screen with a little cursor blinking at the top.  After about five minutes of this screen it flashes the message: Error loading keyboard.drv.  You must reinstall windows.  I've tried reinstalling windows. It just freezes.  Is there some other option? I have WindowsME and a Dell computer.  Boot from the WinME CD and perform a Repair Install.I was looking on the microsoft website and I found this.  But I've tried it and it doesn't work.

To resolve this issue, extract a new copy of Keyboard.drv from your Windows compact disc to the Windows\System folder. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Insert a Windows 98 Startup disk, and then start the computer.  
2. Select Start computer with CD-ROM support on the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup menu, and then press ENTER.
3. Note the drive letter ASSIGNED to the CD-ROM drive. For example, E.
4. Insert the Windows 98 compact disc into the computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
5. At the command prompt, type Ext, and then press ENTER.

Microsoft Extract Command Line Helper starts.
6. At the Please enter the path to the Windows CAB files (a:) message, type drive:\win98 (where drive is the drive letter that you noted in step 3), and then press ENTER. For example:
E:\win98  
7. At the Please enter the name(s) of the files(s) you want to extract message, type Keyboard.drv, and then press ENTER.
8. At the Please enter the path to extract to ("Enter" for current directory) message, type C:\Windows\System, and then press ENTER.
9. At the Is this okay? (y/n) message, type y, and then press ENTER. If you receive the following message
Overwrite C:\Windows\System\Keyboard.drv (Yes/No/All)?
type y, and then press ENTER. The FILE is extracted.
10. Remove the Windows 98 Startup disk, and then restart the computer.
You're not on the Dell?  It won't boot?

Okay...stupid question...is the keyboard unplugged from the computer...check it.

I'm not on my computer right now. And yes the keyboard is plugged into my computer at home. I can't boot the computer because the keyboard.drv THING comes up.  I've tried reinstalling windows, it freezes at the copy files point.  I've tried to extract the driver, it gives me the message of Error: cannot open e:/win98.  I've tried switching it to winme because that is my operating system doesn't work.  I've checked my cd rom drive. It's correct.  And it still gives me the error.Have you tried using the Windows 2000 Repair option as Computer Commando suggested?I went home last night and put in the WinME operating system cd. It doesn't offer a repair install. It just tries to reinstall the entire Windows system.  But when it gets to the copying files part, it freezes at 10%.I'm no expert on WinME.  I have used it and WinME is by far the WORST OS that Microsoft has ever released.  It's worse than Win98 or Win95.  It is very unstable and will do all kinds of strange things.

That aside, can you borrow another keyboard to try first?  It could be something as simple as a blown out keyboard, it's not common but it can happen.  There's electronics in the keyboard, too.Before we commend winme...is made up from win95/98/nt...back to the plot does your keyboard num lock come on? ....and does the mouse work?...and is this a usb..or wireless keyboard...or a standard ps2 one...do you have a floppy boot disk....or try this>http://www.windowsreinstall.com/install/oem/dell/dell_MEpc.htmI've DONE all this. I even tried a different winme install disc. It just freezes at 10%.Try this:
