java.lang.NullPointerException when connecting to DB

131710Jan 6 2010 — edited Feb 25 2010

Running what I think is the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer, 2.1.0.63.73 on JDK 1.6.0_17, Windows XP. Every 2nd or 3rd time I run SQL Dev, I get the following when I go to connect: Error Connecting, with the below in the "Details"

Other times, it works fine. Anything I might have done wrong in installing this guy? Any thoughts?

Thanks, Michael
