Please pardon me for butting in. I can share what I found broke ICS for me and you can check if you have anything similar.
I used a separate piece of low level code (not ICS) in my about form that displayed the host name and IP address of the user's PC, it used winsock.gethostname, WSAStartup($101,...) and WSACleanup. (I don't remember which one was the culprit.) This I found broke any open socket connections that I had and only way to see if they were broken was something like cmd's netstat -a. It was rather a bother, as not many people check the about box, so was quite random, showed no errors and was pretty annoying. I fixed it a long time ago by using internal ICS functions instead. Hope it helps.
