Change the last executable line of startup bat to use "run" instead of "start" - this will execute the catalina.bat in the same window so you can see the error.

Hi Bill,
Thanks
I changed the exectable's last statement.
Got the following information:

Issue was CATALINA_HOME was set to C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.23\bin & not to C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.23.
