Hello everyone !
I downloaded Tomcat 5.5.17 and then I tried starting it with
startup.bat . but it doesn't work.
I have J2SE installed on my computer.
What should I do ?

You should tell us what's happening. Are you getting error messages? If
so, what do they say?

You should execute startup.bat from a command line prompt, NOT
by clicking on it. If a window opens and immediately closes,
change the last executable line in startup.bat
from
call "%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
to
call "%EXECUTABLE%" run %CMD_LINE_ARGS%

this will keep the command prompt window open so you can
see error messages.
