I had a similar problem and found it to be a semicolon at the end of my
classpath. Look at your classpath very closely. I am running tomcat 3.2.1
on Windows 2000 server with no problems.
I start tomcat by simply double-clicking on the startup.batch file in the
tomcat\bin directory. This opens its own dos window. Shut it down by
double-clicking on the shutdown.batch file which closes the dos window. You
can make a shortcut on your desktop.
Hope this helps.

Try opening a DOS window, change to the D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\bin
directory, and run: "tomcat run"
This should run tomcat in the same window, so you can see the error
messages. Also check the logs in jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\logs.
