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
