Tomcat service -- it won't start

I attempted to start Apache Tomcat 4.0.4 from the services panel in Windows.  But a message came up...

"The Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service."

I have used Tomcat many times before, but I have never gotten this message.  I am using XP professional.  But I have previously had no problem getting the service to start on XP pro.  Also, I can load up Tomcat just fine from the Startup.bat file.  I installed Tomcat with the minimal settings, with only the Tomcat program and the service installed.  No documentation, examples or anything else.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?  Should I look for anything particular in the log files?  I looked in them and didn't find anything that seemed important.  What should I do?

Thank you for the help,
Kyle P.
