IBConsole main window will not appear

Problem: When you start IBConsole, the task-bar icon appears but the main window does not.

Solution:

Make sure IBConsole is not running.
From a Command prompt, type: REGEDIT
Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key (left tree view.)
Open the key by clicking the '+' sign.
Open the 'Software' key.
Open the 'Borland' key.
Open the 'InterBase' key.
Open the 'IBConsole' key.
Navigate to the 'Settings' key, right-click and select the 'Delete' option.
Click YES when asked 'Are you sure?'
Close REGEDIT and restart IBConsole.

IBConsole says "Cannot attach to password database"

Problem: When starting Keystone you see the Product Activation screen. When you try to open a database using IBConsole, you get an error message saying "Cannot attach to password database."

Solution: Set the correct Time Zone for Windows. Apparently having an incorrect time zone affects the InterBase licensing check.
