Ejabberd in Windows - getting started

I am using Exodus as my jabber client. Whenever I try signing on, and it doesn't matter if I try signing on as a new user or not, I can't get connected. In my Erlang screen, I am getting several:

=ERROR REPORT==== 23-Jun-2006::08:58:59 ===
Mnesia(ejabberd@vlaytonxp560l): ** WARNING ** Mnesia is overloaded: {dump_log,
time_threshold}

followed by a single instance of:

I have no clue what is going on or where to begin solving this problem.

Thanks for any advice anyone can give me!
