I tried to free up space on my drive and I delted HIMEM.SYS, DBLBUFF.SYS amd IFSHLP.SYS. How do I install back? IT boots then goes right to C>

SFC ? I am wondering.
Look, you are now in windows on this site. So, use your notepad to open a new blank file. Copy the following command line to it. Use highlight, copy (Ctr+c) and paste (Ctr+v) to play safe.
For %%F in (himem dblbuff ifshlp) do extract /y /a X:\win98\base4.cab /l c:\windows\ %%F.sys
(all in one line)
Edit the line by replacing the X: by the cdrom drive letter. I don't know, maybe D: or E: or J: etc.
Save the file as, say, repair.bat.
Put it on a floppy disk.
Bring it to your damaged computer.
Put the win98 cdrom in the drive.
Boot the computer up. It goes to C> prompt as you said.
Enter the command :
C>a:repair.bat [enter]After that, reboot.
