i made it to work by loading rubygems first.

U:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
LoadError: no such file to load -- watir
        from (irb):1:in `require'
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> require 'watir'

However, i never had to load rubygems before. the script i am running
was working before i reimaged my machine and reloaded ruby. what did i
miss in my install that i have to require 'rubygems' now.
