Try booting into safe mode/recovery mode or whatever it's called. That will mostly guarantee that only a minimal required amount of dlls will be loaded.

If you don't want to use an Ubuntu Live CD (I'm not even sure it can mount ntfs in read-write properly), there is a windows equivalent you can get:

This has saved my ass in the past, when I needed to back up stuff after my windows system files got corrupted. It requires that you have a copy of the WinXP CD, but I'm sure that won't be a problem.
