If I were you, I would start by stopping the tomcat service and then starting it with the manual bat files in the bin directory of tomcat 5. Get that to work and then take a look at service.bat I believe. I'm a unix person, but I've seen it referenced enough on the list for Windows installs. A search of the archives may help you out a lot. Also test in increments. Does http://127.0.0.1:8080 work?

In the envorinment settings they are capitalized, it's just the way I typed the echo command.
I also tried the %CATALINA_HOME% pointing to where you said, it didn't work either.
Cheerfully waiting for more suggestions...
And to Jake, Apache-Tomcat (Jakarta Project) version 5.0.27 (the one I'm running) does run under a server service and it has an installer to set everything up for you (supposedly)

Of course it will not work!
First, I believe the environment variables need to be CAPITALIZED, as in %JAVA_HOME% and %CATALINA_HOME%.
Second, your %CATALINA_HOME% is pointing to the wrong place. It should be the root of tomcat installation (ie., "D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0"), not webapps\ROOT.

That didn't work either and I have been researching this for a week, some days as many as 10 hours. I've probably spent an entire work week on this problem and I am getting really frustrated.
Here are my current envirnment settings:
L:\>echo %java_home% C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05
L:\>echo %catalina_home% D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\ROOT
It STILL doesn't work!

You need to set %JAVA_HOME% to the installation directory of JDK, Not JRE. The JDK is installed in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05 by default.
I agree with Fredrik that you need to do some more home work by yourself since this is fairly basic stuff.

OK, I got the instructions and the homes are set as follows:
L:\>echo %JAVA_HOME% C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\client
L:\>ECHO %CATALINA_HOME% D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
Tomcat STILL can't find javac!!! What's next????

Go to google:
Search for "setting java_home" click the first link in the result link.
Follow step-by-step instructions.
Once you get passed the step of setting the paths you'll no doubt encounter tons of problems and questions. Make sure to read the basic tutorials and search the archive for the same questions. If you can't find the answer after looking in those two places please feel free to post your questions.
Let's keep this list somewhat relevant shall we.
