Error 10035 is socket error WSAEWOULDBLOCK, it's true, and it means
that the socket is unavailable because a resource is not
available. That could be that something else has grabbed port 3050
but there could be other reasons why the connection request has to be refused.

What is the name of the database? If it has the suffix ".gdb" then
you have found the source of the problem. XP has a background
process called "SystemRestore" that targets files with the .gdb
extension. Whenever a request comes to open the file, XP immediately
locks the file and takes a disk image of it and stores it
somewhere. If the database file can't be renamed, you will have to
disable SystemRestore on the partition where the DB file resides.

Just as a reality check, did you uninstall the previous
version? Firebird 2 is a full release, not a point upgrade....many
changes....I have no idea what "Napa Trac" is but if it's some
software product with a Firebird backend, surely their support people
can't refuse to tell you whether it's certified to run with Firebird 2.x....
