Hi Ali,
  Please check out the installation documentation.  It says there that you 
must rename jakarta-tomcat to Tomcat (e.g. foo:\Tomcat\bin  NOT  
foo:\Tomcat\tomcat-jakarta\bin).

  Based on your env. variables you are using WIN 9X/NT, if you are using 
9X, maybe it has something to do with environment space. Try this:
1) right click on foo:\tomcat\bin\startup.bat
2) select properties
3) Set initial environment space to 32000
4) This will create a dos-command(sort of a shortcut), Click this and 
hopefully everything will be fine.

Goodluck!
