I get an 'unavailable database' error (with service up and running) on
FB1.5 superserver on windows xp as soon as IIS gets installed. Dunno
why, strange but true..

Windows Vista seems to do this "out of the box".

Have changed my app's default setting on installation to always just use
localost:c:\... by default now.

PS. Would be very nice just to know what causes it though.
