Thank you Alan and Markus! I followed the instructions of both you and I kept getting info (via netstat) about a java.exe listening on port 8005 on localhost. I went and uninstalled both Tomcat and java; made sure all references to them are gone from the system variables and also deleted their keys from the registry.
To make sure all java is gone from the computer I typed java -version at the command prompt and got a response that java is not a recognized command. Then I rebooted the machine. However, after all this, I am still getting info about two instances of java.exe listening on several ports, one of which is 8005. So I still need help.
