Tomcat 3.3.1 fails to startup on Win2000

[rantnrave]

Hi. I hope somebody out there can help me with this very frustrating problem!

I am trying to get Tomcat 3.3.1 to run with Windows 2000 and Java 1.4.
The strange thing is that I had it running a week ago and then my hard disk died. So I'm
installing it again in exactly the same way and it worked for a few hours but now won't start.

I can, however, get it to start if I do

'Tomcat estart'

, but then I can't get servlets to work. Is there something wrong with the server.xml file? I haven't touched it.

My environment variables have been set correctly (I think):
JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01
TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Tomcat


Likewise, for completeness I have edited tomcat.bat with:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01
set TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Tomcat

The variables were set as above when Tomcat did start for a while.

Am I missing something simple and obvious?!
I get the following message when I try 'startup' from within the bin directory:

I would ditch this version and go get the newest one..4.0.3 or I think 4.1 is out now also. I know it doesn't answer your problem but these are better version especially for win2k.
