Error on Startup

When I reboot system, I am getting the followin message:

"Cannot find the file 'C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.com'.
Make sure that the file exists on your system and that the path and filename are correct."

The file does exists. What is the problem?

    Either the file is corrupt (which is real bad), or a virus did something to it. At the C:\ prompt, type it scanreg /restore. This will check the registry at a time where the system was working correctly. If it works, great! But, if you see the same message, the only solution I can tell you (if you don't have a backup) is to reinstall Windows
