In my experience, the most innovative approach in this case is to simply reboot your test machine. This should clear any rogue instances of the Selenium server running on the port.

You need to kill the process that is using that port. You more than likely improperly closed Selenium the last time, and the process is continuing to run.

You can run netstat -ab in cmd to check the process that is using that port. More then likely going to be java.exe
