Hi,

I am new at both ruby and WATIR and have ran into a problem when trying  
to launch the browser. My input into the cmd is as follows…

require ‘watir’  
ie = Watir::IE.new

After that a bunch of text is then put into the cmd and this error pops  
up

Ruby Interpreter (CUI) 1.9.2p0 [i386-mingw32] Has stopped working.

This might be a minor problem but I cant seem to find a solution and I  
need to get this problem fix so I can continue working on my project.

Thanks
