Post From: Receiving Error: Error Downloading Historical Market Depth Data . . .

I thought this issue was resolved but I see the Red Error box come up again when trying to download Market Depth Data for yesterday.
Below is my message log after I cleared it.

Couple of things:
1.) I have 2 instances of Sierra running. For both instances I have the "Paths" settings for Market Depth Data set to a folder on my B:/ drive. Based on the error, is that not OK?
2.) Also, is the very frequent "NTP Client | Sending Packet to . . . common to see in the Message Log? I'm wondering why my message log is filled with these and they occur every 30 seconds or so
