Your path may be wrong... look at the service path (in service's
properties), it should point to the fbServer.exe executable. In my system it
says

d:\archivos de programa\firebird\bin\fbserver -s

if it is wrong, you have to re-register the service using correct path.

By the way, there is an installation program at
http://www.amsoftwaredesign.com/downloads/Firebird-1.5.0.3233_RC1_win32_setu
p.EXE
