Actually, I think in that scenario using "catalina.bat start" instead of "startup.bat" would be more helpful, as I think using catalina.bat will display error messages to that console window and leave the console window up instead of killing the window immediately. That should provide more info.
Siobhan, can you post the contents of the Tomcat logs (just the last few lines after you experience this problem). They should be in the directory where you installed Tomcat. That will give us more information to help you, too.
