No this is not a solution, it is a "fluke" it just happened to work, but the
world is still not aware of WHY! The eternal all so important question !!

You right i "miss-worded" that (if you do search further the reason it works
will most certainly BE logical), 
lets do this again:
Copying a file over into a place that makes something work is not an answer,
an answer is 'the .dll must be placed here for x reasons'. Which i "bet"
will if you go further into the matter be because 'folder x doesnt have the
same permissions as the original folder'.

What i mean is: 
The more you search for the reasons, the more you will understand the
workings, the less you will have to fix the problems ;)

them, and don't forget to have fun getting their ;)
