I tried to uninstall IIS

tml), .Net 2 framework etc. but strangely enough, it remained.
So I did Start|Run|inetmgr and lo and behold, found "Default Web Page"
camped out on port 80. I deleted it, and the Tomcat welcome page comes
up just fine! :)
It's nice that you solved your main problem, but what you write above does not make much
technical sense.
A "default web page" does not "camp on" any particular port.
And deleting a web page does not stop a webserver from running.
Maybe it is MS's brain-dead way of presenting things that gets you confused.
The underlying fact is : two separate processes cannot open the same listening port on the
same host. When one process opens that listening port (80 in this case), any other
process that tries to open the same one will fail.
If Tomcat is now running fine and listening on port 80, it means that whatever you did
above, was really stop IIS from running and opening port 80 first.
