Sometimes we've had problems with older Tomcats on Windows because of the space in the path name for your environment variable. I'd bet it'd help here too.
Try doing it the old Windows way, like this: c:\>Set CATALINA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Tomcat~1.0 c:\>Set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2 BTW, you can double-check these from a Windows command prompt by running dir /X. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 1:30 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Installation problem Hi Harry, Did as told. c:\>Set CATALINA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0 c:\>Set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2 Still i am getting this flickering screen.
