Get CygWin (but not its Ruby), and learn to use BASH, a real command
line interface. After a little easy tuning it's easier than mouse
abuse.

Then get with a Windows tutorial (under the wild assumption you use
Windows), and then learn to de-gunk your system registry. It has a
link to the wrong ruby, possibly rubyw.exe. Uninstalling Ruby won't
remove the link because it's outside Ruby's home folder in the
registry. Back your 'puter up before twiddling with the registry!

Then erase your Windows and get Linux. It supports symlinks, which
make most of that ridiculous registry unneeded.
