you are changing where `screen' points to,not sending the 
picture to the screen.....

you need to declare a pointer to the picture and load 
the picture with that pointer and then BLIT it to the screen.

Here is the changes assuming you are using c.


 {
 PALETTE p;
 BITMAP  *MY_PICTURE;  //reserve a pointer for your picture
 allegro_init();
 install_keyboard();
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_VGA, 320, 200, 0, 0);
 MY_PICTURE=load_bitmap("drop.bmp",p); //load your picture
 set_palette(p);
 blit(MY_PICTURE,screen,0,0,0,0,319,199);//blit to screen
 readkey();
 allegro_exit();
 }

Hope that helps you

(If anyone sees my canceled post,i had forgot to make a pointer
 out of `MY_PICTURE')
