'session not created exception while running Selenium webdriver

Till yesterday: The below code was working fine.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users../Applications/chromedriver");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");

Dimension dim = new Dimension(1280,5277);
driver.manage().window().setSize(dim);

driver.quit();

But today morning it started throwing: Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created exception

I read several answers in Stackoverflow. I understood that this error is thrown if there is a version mismatch between the selenium webdriver and chrome driver. So I download the latest Selenium Webdriver(3.0.1 for java) and chromedriver(2.4).I get an error

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchSessionException: no such session

So reverted back to the version I was using(2.53 for selenium web driver, I get the same error.

I tried below solutions:

killing all the chromedriver processes.

Rebooting the machine.

Eclipse->project clean

Nothing helps

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users../Applications/chromedriver")

need to change in above Line System.setProperty("Webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users../Applications/chromedriver")

W should be capital letter

Solution 2:[2]

Here is a bit of code I used with working with Selenium. Make sure your Chrome Driver is the correct version.

// Link to Chrome Driver
// This gives Selenium access to the Chrome Driver in the parent directory
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");

// Launches Driver
        final WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("http://google.com/");

// Maximizes Google Chrome window
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
