Edit the registry. Off the top of my head it is something like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
Apache Tomcat 4.1
Parameters
You need to change the value for the JVM library to point to the jvm.dll in
the server directory of your jre. Should be something like
JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll.
When ran as a service, the environment variables are not read -- possibly
because Java can not read environment variables (at least without using
methods which have been deprecated.)

I've never experienced the problem (i'm not running NT) but it seems to me
that you need to unset your path and set your JAVA_HOME to your java SDK
dir. This could be done in tomcat.conf (maybe its .bat on an NT) or
otherwise in catalina.bat
