Hi Daniel,
thanks for your quick answer... here it is my situation:

< Did you install Firebird while being logged on as Administrator?
Yes, I did


< Did you change the default username that Firebird runs under?
It's not clear for me... is there a default username unde which firebirds runs?


< Are there any error entries in the Firebird.log file?
Yes, here they are:

NEUROSERVER (Client) Wed May 05 15:09:57 2004
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\fbserver.exe : The
guardian was unable to launch the server thread. errno : 1053

< Do you have a registry entry under HKey_Local_Machine called "Firebird
Project"? If yes, what is in it?
Yes, this is the content of the key:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances]
"DefaultInstance"="C:\\Program Files\\Firebird\\Firebird_1_5\\"

There is something wrong?
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Simone Pola
