Can you try the below for me? 1. Delete the CATALINA_HOME environment variable 2. Make sure your JDK install is a vanilla install ie. you haven't put anything in JAVA_HOME\lib\ext 3. Install Tomcat 4.1.24 somewhere like C:\tomcat4 just by extracting the full zip file. 4. REBOOT 5. From the command line run C:\tomcat4\bin\startup.bat --> startup.log
If it works brilliant, if it doesn't can you post the contents of startup.log?
