Thank you for the advices. I was just thinking that if a ruby  
application (freeride) doesn’t start then possibly my Ruby installation  
is corrupted.

Starting with the latest version of the One-Click Ruby Installer for  
Windows, FreeRIDE is no longer included. However, if you install  
FreeRIDE  
separately, it uses its own embedded copy of the Ruby runtime which has  
been  
tested and is know to be compatible with the FreeRIED codebase (  
[http://freeride.rubyforge.org](http://freeride.rubyforge.org)).
