SYMPTOMS
You are running Delphi Interbase 7 Server Professional Edition on a Windows Vista-based computer. In the Interbase Manager, when you click Server Properties or Guardian Properties, the properties dialog box is not displayed.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because Interbase 7 Server is running as a service. Windows Vista disallows a service that is running in session 0 (the console session) from communicating with a program that is running in a user session.

Note When you use the default settings to install Interbase 7 Server, it is installed as a service.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must run the Interbase 7 Server as a program and not as a service. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Uninstall the Interbase 7 Server program in Windows Vista.
 * 2) Reinstall the Interbase 7 Server program. However, do not accept default settings when you reinstall the program.
 * 3) When you are presented with the option, click to clear the Run the Interbase server as a service on WindowsNT check box.
