Shouldn't you be linking to the import lib from the .dll (i.e. isense.lib) 
instead of the .dll?

If you are running Windows Vista or later, use the built-in SxSTrace.exe 
program to create a log of exactly why the .dll could not be loaded.  You 
can also use Dependency Walker, but SxSTrace is more thorough.
