More thanks, now it is working properly.
But I don't understand where is the difference : In the first time
(when I didnt' make copy of dll's into the system dir) I controlled
usage of dll's with Filemon and result looked like this :
5 12:16:48 fbguard.exe:1032 OPEN C:\Program
Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\MSVCP60.dll

and fbserver didn't start
Now fbserver works, but log from FileMon is the same - dll's are
loaded from Firebird\bin directory. Why is necessary to move dll's to
the system dir, are there any other ways ?
