I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The dll implements two COM interfaces that 
seem to be used for providing directx support.

Well, the native dll doesn't seem to be using IDispatch, just took a look at 
its typelib. I'm not sure, am I doing something wrong here?

Ah yes, some of them surely can be replaced with stuff from the headers. I'll 
try as much as is possible.

Will do.
