Does Windows ME even have a firewall. I have looked in almost every place
possible and cant seem to find one. I dont know when i last updated the
windows either because it is not my home PC and i dont use it everyday,
but
it seems to get virus all the time.

Windows ME doesn't have its own firewall. Use a third-party solution, and if
the machine is on a high-bandwidth ISP (DSL or cable), use a proper router
between the modem and the machine(s), one that has a NAT "firewall". Even if
it's only one machine, it's wise to add this protection to your network.

How do you know you're getting viruses? Do you have a real-time AV scanner,
one that is constantly monitoring in the background, or do you only manually
scan every once in a while? Viruses have to come from somewhere. If you're
using a normal real-time scanner, when do the alerts show up? While you're
doing what?

Another problem that does happen is apoun start-up i do recieve some
errors
that seem to be registry type errors.

What, exactly, are the errors? We need exact, verbatim texts including
details, if any. If the details are long, leave out the "registers". Error
message and details shouldn't be longer than a line or three. Make sure to
indicate when, at what point in the boot cycle, the errors occur.
