Even though it's registered by the second user, it hangs when trying to be loaded by the original user. All the other DLL's register and load fine, so I don't think it's permissions.

Could it be an issue with the registry entries specific for that user?

You could run scanreg.exe and see if that reveals anything.

I trust you checked the event logs and didn't see anything in there.
