My Alt button doesn't seem to be working anytime I try to use ctrl+alt+del. I can't tab through my open programs by using alt+tab anymore either.

Something has remapped or disabled the code that your keyboard sends for the Alt key. It's not a problem I've heard with on Windows, but there are a couple of things I can think of trying.
First is T-Chai's idea. You need to go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device manager. Find the keyboard in the device listings, and click 'properties'.
You should see an option to reinstall the driver. (You'll need to insert your Win98SE CD.) The other option is Start-Programs-System tools-System information. Tools-System file checker. See if that recommends restoring any changed system files.
If those two don't work, and no one else has ideas, you may be looking at a Win98SE reinstall.
