We installed a software on our server which works fine. So, we try to run this software's executable file from another PC by mapping a drive to this server, it reponds that a *.dll file cannot be loaded. We copied this file to local PC's system32 and still did not work. It should not be about incorrect path to *.dll, it must be something else.

We tried that and *.dll was loaded but it was missing "pointer". We will need to open regitry and give a right path...Thanks for all the help.

This file may be a hidden filen in the program that could possibly be causing the problem,unhide the file and rerun the mapping setup

This sounds great for hidden file. A possible solution we will try is to open registry and create a new string for this file.

Ok, you've already tried to registrer it, did you do a /u first? If so, then perhaps you should step back and look at the type of DLL your looking at. Not all of them have registry entries, where did it lay on the other system? Was it in the winnt? windows? system32? system?
Does it have any other files that it depends on? (find out by running depends on that dll) Sometimes it will have other files it needs copied as well. I would also do a manual search of the registry to find any reference to that dll there, and match them on the local station.
