It can be tough to figure out what the problem is without knowing what
the output is that's going to that window.  So I suggest you begin by
getting the output from tomcat to go somewhere that won't disappear.

Here's my suggestion:
1. Copy %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin\startup.bat to %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin\run.bat
2. Edit run.bat, changing
call %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin\tomcat start %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
to
call %TOMCAT_HOME\bin\tomcat run %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
3. to start tomcat, instead of using startup.bat, get a new DOS prompt,
cd to %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin and use the new run.bat

This should cause the text to print to the window of your DOS prompt,
which with some luck will give you enough information to figure out what
the problem is.  (Or you could redirect it to a file and read it at a
more leisulely pace.)  If the problem still doesn't make sense, drop me
or the list a line including Tomcat's output and we'll see if we can
work it out.
