Greg,
Give ext2fsd a try. I use it all the time, and it appears to work well. It is a little slow if you are dealing with large files and you have to enable a registry value if you want write support, but it still works really well. The url is:

http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net

It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and
over. (History repeats itself)
