I think the questions you need to ask yourself are:

 o What are you using in place of the 3rd party DLL in the cases where it
   works?
 o How was it compiled?
 o How well do those settings match what the 3rd party DLL used?

Depending what the answers are, it may well describe your successes and
failures.
