    • ajay,
      Reboot your machine. If it still occurs after that, open Task Manager, see if – in fact – it is listed in the Processes tab; if so, click on it, and then click “End Task” to stop that running ‘instance’; then try to launch the game. If it isn’t listed, or that doesn’t resolve your issue, you can try reinstalling the game, or fiddling with its ‘compatibilty’ settings. Good luck.

        • ajay,
          Truth is, you should not be running winXP (too old) nor spending time trying to get software from 2009 to run. But, I wrote an article for win7 users trying to get XP-era games to run that may give you some ideas – click here.
          And you might try google search “ashes cricket 2009 cannot start as an instance is”. Or post your question in a gamer’s forum.
