well, screen doesn't quite work that way
First you need to create your screen session, and then start sphere from inside that screen.

Simple way is this:
Login with putty.
enter "screen -x -RR sphereserver" <--- This will get your screen session called sphereserver or create one if it don't exist
start sphere "./spheresvr"
close putty. Don't use the exit command.
To get the console again, login to putty, use "screen -x -RR sphereserver"
