I'm afraid that you cannot run kmymoney until you know which other, 
non-kde, application you installed that broke your kde installation by 
putting a dll in the windows path.

This isn't something that anyone on this list can figure out for you. What 
you can try is uninstall every application you installed since the last 
time kmymoney ran for you and hope that the authors of the offending app 
weren't negligent enough to break uninstall by letting the offending dll 
stay around. I haven't got enough windows experience to suggest anything 
else, I'm afraid.

Then you might need to rerun the kde installer. If you are really anxious 
to get at your data right now, which I can well imagine, the route I would 
take would be to download a kubuntu cd and VirtualBox, create a kubuntu 
vm, install kmymoney and copy your files to the linux vm and open them 
there.

Is it simply kmymoney.exe, and if so I

Not that I know of.
