Ok I have a friend who owns the OEM version of Windows ME that he got with his recent Dell desktop which works fine. Just for test reasons I tried to upgrade my copy of Windows 98: SE to Windows ME but I got the error: "This is not a Dell Computer"

Is there anything I can do in the registry to get by this and upgrade my copy to Windows ME? Maybe a registry crack? thx.

Nope, your out of luck. The install reads for Dells bios.
I have tried the same myself. With No luck.
