Hi I am trying to use RSPEC on windows and i keep getting the following  
error

“You must gem install win32console to use colour on Windows”

I have installed this Gem but i am still getting the same error. The  
file that error is coming from is:  
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rspec-0.8.2\lib\spec\runner\formatter\base\_text\_formatter.rb

Can anyone help me, ive searched the web but cant seem to find a  
solution.
