Hi David Thanks for your response.

When I installed Tomcat 5.5, I selected that JRE. Tomcat seems to run fine and a previous version of my application also seems to be running quite happily. Why does Tomcat 5.5 need a JDK (only answer, if it is not RTFM, because I obviously haven't done it properly) There are a few JREs left in Oracle directories and because I don't know what they are I have had to leave them since the server is also used by others. Below is the server path: D:\Program Files\PHP\;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Progr am Files\Dell\OpenManage\Array Manager;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Network Ass ociates\VirusScan Engine\4.0.xx\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\ Binn\;C:\Program Files\DataDirect\ODBC32v50\Drivers;D:\oracle9i\OPatch;D:\San_Fr ancisco\Products\SIST\bin;D:\Edits\products\EDITS\bin;D:\oracle9i\jre\1.4.2\bin\ client;D:\oracle9i\jre\1.4.2\bin;D:\oracle9i\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.3 .1\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin;D:\oracle10g\product\OraDb10gHome\j re\1.4.2\bin\client;D:\oracle10g\product\OraDb10gHome\jre\1.4.2\bin;C:\Program F iles\Java\jre1.5.0_14\bin;\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin;D:\Edits\pr oducts\EDITS\Apache\Perl\5.00503\bin\mswin32-x86;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Se rver 5.0\bin;Ø The truth is, that from what I can see, this server is in a very "iffy" state, but unfortunately I have no control over it and I'll have to request our IT department to "re-do" the server which will probably take weeks (I'm not allowed to do it myself - I wouldn't have used Windows in the first place, but there you go ... ). Before going the re-do way I wanted to try and resolve the problem if possible. I'll start by moving my path to jre1.5.0 to the front of the path. But if anyone spots anything else that could help resolve the problem, I'd appreciate some pointers.
