What kind of keyboard are you using, usb or ps/2 type? If usb then most likely you have disabled the usb keyboard and mouse at boot. You will need to use a ps/2 type to access the bios and change the setting back.

2 year old home built, pentium II 400, ps2 keyboard, never done this before. until a new format and install of windows me i believe, its delete im positive even tells me to press del to enter setup. uh when i do attempt to enter i get a click and windows starts to load, im pretty positive windows is overriding the boot process, so ill try the unplug keyboard thing in a little

Pentium 2 and ME is way older than 2 years old.

Just a thought, but have you tried another keyboard? Yours might be going out.

Try a different keyboard first.
