Hi everybody, thanks for your help, which I really appreciate! I still don't know exactly what it was, but I fixed it by doing the following:
- uninstall tomcat - reinstall it, not having it run as a windows service - installing it in a directory "tomcat_4_1" rather then the suggested "tomcat 4.1" because I hade problems with spaces in path before. Now it works!
