What browser are you dealing with here ? If its firefox perhaps you might want to check if there is a firefox stuck in memory (use task manager to explore and kill it if its running already) and then retry.

Just go to the Task Manager and kill your browser instances and run your test again..It should work.

I had similar issue. It was happening because of firefox issue and
firefox was updated and your selenium server is not ready for the
updated version of firefox. Either download a new copy of stand alone
selenium server or path your old server then run the test. It should
work.

Here is the link to path selenium server for updated version of
firefox.
