Answer 1

You're in luck...we experienced this issue. We are in a distributed environment and had configurator open on two boxes. Our theory is that the configurators get into a pushing match and lock out the Shared Services database thus causing Configurator to never launch again.
We dropped the schema in the Shared Services database and then configurator was able to run again
