The command.com fiolder appears to be empty. I open it but all I see is a
blank screen. I need it to install a game for my son.

command.com is a program not a folder. You have to type commands in the
command window. When using command.com commands are executed by cmd.exe.

command.com should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Hi,

Command.com is a file, not a folder. Double-clicking it will open the
command prompt.
