OK, this is what I see in the Event Viewer under General tab

Let's start from the beginning.
If you don't get logfiles in the Tomcat/logs directory, then chances are that Windows does
not even begin to run Tomcat, and that there is an error right at the start, when it tries
to run it.
So first read this : http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q11
That will explain /what/ you are actually running, when you (try to) run Tomcat as a
Service in Windows, and why it is different from running Tomcat in a command window.
Go ahead, read it, we'll wait right here.
... some time later :
Now you know
- that tomcat7.exe is a Windows executable program
- it is the program which the Windows Service Manager tries to start, when you start the
Tomcat7 Service
- but tomcat7.exe is not really Tomcat; it is a "wrapper" program that runs the Java JVM
which in turn runs Tomcat.
And to start the Java JVM, and pass to this java JVM the appropriate parameters,
tomcat7.exe reads these parameters from the Windows Registry somewhere.
And to be nice, the Tomcat developers have even provided a specialised GUI editor, that
allows you to view, set or modify these Tomcat Registry parameters that are used by
tomcat7.exe.
And that is the program tomcat7w.exe. So go ahead now, double-click on tomcat7w.exe, and
look at the information it shows in the various tabs.
That is probably where something is wrong.
Or else what is wrong, is that the version of tomcat7.exe that you have installed, does
not match the version of Windows that you are running. For example, tomcat7.exe is a
32-bit program, but your Windows PC runs a 64-bit version of Windows. Or vice-versa.
Or that in the Service definition of the Tomcat7 Service, the path to tomcat7.exe is
incorrect.
You see that path in the first tab of the GUI.
