I'm not sure if this works with older versions, but you can specify the location of the DLL with the ocidll argument as in:

toad ocidll=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\oci8.dll

I think that oci8.dll was the name of the DLL in Oracle8, but I primarily use Unix.

BTW, oci.dll does exist in 9i (that's how I discovered this argument in the first place). Toad cannot find it for some reason.
