A couple things to try:

Make sure the DLL is linked against the same python15.lib
as is used for python.exe.  Mixed DLL versions can cause
problems.

Use VC "Depends" to see exactly which DLLs are needed
by your DLL and by python.exe.  Make sure they are there.

Make sure you linked the C runtime "Multithread DLL",
not some other C runtime.
