re: win.com missing Saturday, July 12, 2003 at 2:32 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) I've listed a link below that includes the instructions to replace the Win.com file. Did something happen to your system prior to this error? Usually when this file is missing, it indicates a Virus, or that system files have been deleted. Is there any other information you can give us?
