Win.com missing - help please

[barrowhill]

Hope someone can help. Have Dell Latitude CSx laptop which on boot gives the
message "Cannot find Win.com, unable to continue loading Windows"

I've read the microsoft article on "Creating a New Win.com File When You
Cannot Start Windows " (Article 136630) but cannot find the win.cnf file in
either win98_25.cab or win98_28.cab. Can someone tell me where to find
it??????

Apologies for double post. Please ignore this one. Though I'd cancelled
sending this one but obviously not.

Look for your cab files in Windows\options\cabs

otherwise they would be on your win98cd
