Article #26992: Launching Server Manager fails with two errors.

After installing InterBase 6, if there is a "Server Manager" icon in the InterBase program group, clicking on it will give the aformentioned error. Right behind that error dialog will be a second dialog that says, ":InterBasebinibmgr32.exe. A device attached to the system is not functioning." This is caused by installing InterBase 6 without uninstalling InterBase 5 beforehand. InterBase 6 does not include the "Server Manager" executable. The file you are trying to run is a leftover from InterBase 5 that would have been removed by the InterBase 5 uninstall. The way to fix it is to delete ibmgr32.exe, and the shortcut that points to it, and use the "InterBase Server Manager" that comes with InterBase 6.
