should only see one: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird
Server\Instances and (if you used the defaults) the entry should be:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\

I see under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird

DefaultInstance REG_SZ C:\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\ (where I put it)

the machine was shut down, physically picked up and moved to another
room. We have a 'server room' with serious air-conditioning; in
winter, all of the offices are cold, so my admin didn't bother to put
the machine in the room in the first place, while he was setting it
up for my database install. [The machine had an old version of NT on
it, he upgraded to windows server 2003.] I told him things looked
good, so he decided to move it. Neither of us thought it would cause
a problem. (yes, I made sure to log out my remote session first).
