Out of memory

Windows 98
My config.sys is as follows:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:on
device=C:\windows\emm386.exe
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20

DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /E

rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:1f0,14
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:170,15
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:170,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:1e8,12
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:1e8,11
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:168,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:168,9

LASTDRIVE=Z

Conventional Memory total=655,360
Conventional Memory used=137,968
Conventional Memory Free=517,392

Upper Memory total,used and free =0

reserved memory total=393,216
reserved memory used=393,216
reserved memory free=0

extended memory total=99,614,720
extended memory used=606,208
extended memory free=99,008,512

total EMS=32M
free EMS=32M

Largest executable = 505K
Largest free umb = 0
MS-DOS is resident in the high mem area.

Question:
Why do I run out of memory when I try to exract /a s:\win98\win98_22.cab *.fon /l c:\windows\fonts.

I am trying to avoid a re-install. Right now, the gdi.exe fails to load and windows fails to load because of missing fonts.
