Hi guys,

server version: Firebird 2.0.6
PC: Vista Home Premium

This used to work fine and I have had FB installed and running on this PC for about 2 years but I can't use GSEC anymore.

I try to connect with gsec and I get "cannot attach to services manager" I have tried a million command line combinations:

> cd [to FB bin dir]
> gsec -user sysdba -pass xxxxxxxx
> gsec -user sysdba -password xxxxxxxx

etc etc etc!

I know gsec used to work on here because when I installed FB i changed the sysdba password np.

Has anyone had this issue?

All the firebird docs say "check FB is running" but no help if it is! I have used FB for 10 years and written clients for it in VB, Python and PHP and never had this before!

Please help!

Thanks :)
