Thanks, but I 'think' I have it resolved. And....it WAS a permissions
issue. I realized that a "critical" windows 7 security update was
installed yesterday. Automatic updates was "magically" turned on again
for some reason.

After more digging, I noticed it had marked many of the directories in
my /User directory as read-only. After removing the read only
attribute I was able to install gems again. Gotta love Windows..... I
would really like to know exactly what it did.

Thanks to all for your help!
