How are you starting Tomcat? You maybe should try setting the variables globally via Windows Environment settings (on Windows XP, right-click on My Computer, select Properties, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button). Add entries under System variables for CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME here and then try starting tomcat. It may not be picking up your environment variable changes and thus won't start. Not sure if Tomcat 5 supports it, but you could also try running the Set commands then starting tomcat manually by running tomcat 5.0/bin/startup...
