Won't start after Vista updates (des.dll workaround?)

[pendragon]

DVB Dream fails to start after I updated Vista SP1. I run two copies on different devices and neither works now, but both worked before. There is no EurekaLog, just a dialog box saying: "dvbdream.exe has stopped working", with a request to stop the program or to check the internet and stop the program. Based on the details mentioning des.dll, I tried removing this file from the dvbdream folder. dvbdream complains about this when starting up, but starts and runs fine as far as I can tell.

Here is the text provided by the dialog box:

The dvbdream.log file contains:
