To test that you've correctly set the paths, open a command window and type
'cd %java_home%'.  This should put you in the java home dir.  Then try 'cd
%catalina_home%.  If this puts you in the Tomcat home dir, you're good so
far.  Now, type 'catalina run'.  This should start tomcat in the same
window, and if it still fails to start, you'll have a trace to look at for
further clues.

How are you starting Tomcat? You maybe should try setting the variables
globally via Windows Environment settings (on Windows XP, right-click on My
Computer, select Properties, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button).
Add entries under System variables for CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME here and
then try starting tomcat. It may not be picking up your environment variable
changes and thus won't start. Not sure if Tomcat 5 supports it, but you
could also try running the Set commands then starting tomcat manually by
running tomcat 5.0/bin/startup...
