Make sure that you have your path setup correctly first, the installer should have done this for you if you selected that option.  

I used to forget to make sure that I was in the same folder as whatever file that I wanted to require into my IRB session before I started.  I just created a folder C:\rubyscripts\ that I navigate to before I start doing anything it is also where I store all my ruby scripts amazingly enough.
