To make sure if tomcat is in fact running you can either check taskmanager or look inside services.msc. > To enable the Tomcat monitor, find the tomcat6w.exe program (not > tomcat6.exe) in Tomcat's bin directory with Explorer, right-click on the > program entry, select the Compatibility tab, and then check the "Run this > program as an administrator" box.

You should check if tomcat runs OK on other machines (Vista or not), that way you can be sure whether it is host specific, os specific, of you should do some additional configuration (I know for a fact that tomcat works under Vista, I have it running on my Vista x64 machine, without errors or dialogs) Hope this helps Regards, Serge Fonville
