I have this problem often on my windows development machine. It's due to the corba service needing port 1050 for a name server. Windows allocates ports from 1024 upwards for things like web browsers and this port may be in use already. If you go to a command prompt (Start>Run.. and type cmd) you can type the command "netstat -b". This lists the ports in use and the "-b" switch lists the applications they are allocated to. Find what is using port 1050 (and 1099) and shut it down temporarily. On my machine it is usually Thunderbird or Firefox. Once Geronimo has started you can restart this application. It should then be allocated another port as 1050 (and 1099) will now be in use by Geronimo.
