Hello AnnWenzel, Are you sure that Tomcat isn't already running as a service? If Tomcat is already listening to the ports that a new instance would try to listen to, then you would get that behavior. The window would just close. For easier debugging, you might want to open a command prompt and cd to where the tomcat startup batch files are and run them via the command line rather than double clicking the batch files. That way, you should see some error messages in the console.
