Hi, Try using "catalina.bat run" or "catalina.bat start" instead of "startup.bat" -- one of those will keep the DOS window open so you can see error messages (if any). Also check c:\apache\tomcat\logs\catalina.out to see what the error is.
BTW, unless you have a good reason not to, consider using JDK 1.4.
