Do you really click on the "Start" button on the "General" tab of the config dialog? > Crazy thing here is that if I start Tomcat from the Windows services > dialog (Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->Apache > Tomcat) it starts all right.

The Tomcat service runner reads them when the service is to be started - regardless whether you start the service using the "Start" button in the config dialog, the Tomcat monitor, the MMC, by using net start, sc or any other way that might exist to start a service. > Have experienced this using Windows XP Prof with Tomcat 5.5 and Windows > 2000 with Tomcat 5.0. Tomcat 5.5.17 on XP Prof - works without problems for me.
