I hope that Venu’s help was useful to you. Just so you know the
debugger attempts to load symbols from many places. Here they are (in
no particular order)
- From the current directory
- From the directory the binary is in
- From each element in the sympath
- From the hardcoded path in the binary
As Venu pointed out turning on noisy symbol loading (with “!sym noisy”
or -n on the command line) will help you discover where the debugger is
looking for symbols and more verbose information on any errors it finds.
Hopefully this has already solved your problem.

Subject: [windbg] Newbie Question on Symbols
When I first fired up WinDbg (3.0.20.0), I had symbols on my host
machines
drive (C:\somepath\mydriver.pdb). Fine, great, no problem, they loaded.
However, because my development machine and host/target machines are in
different rooms, I’m trying to get the symbols to load from
\[networkpath]\mydriver.pdb. The problem is that no matter what
changes I
make in the File=>Symbol Path… dialogs, WinDbg insists on loading the
symbols from C:\somepath\mydriver.pdb (I checked using the LM command).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
