Here is win.com in an attachment. You must unzip it, then copy it to a floppy disk.

Once copied, restart the problem computer and press and hold the ctrl key. You should get a Windows startup menu. Choose the command prompt.
You will be at the c: prompt
Now place the floppy in the floppy drive and enter:
copy a:\win.com c:\windows
There is a space after copy and after win.com in the above command line
You should get a message 1 file copied; if win.com already exists you will be prompted to overwrite it.
If this still does not resolve the problem and you wish to reinstall Windows, and have the System CD, you can retrieve your current ProductKey by entering this command at the c: prompt:
C:\Windows\Command\Find /I "ProductKey" C:\Windows\System.dat
It is a 25 character code, copy it carefully
there are three spaces in the above command line, one before and after /I and one after "ProductKey"
By the way, the ProductKey is not required just to extract files, only to reinstall Windows.
