I don't know if this is the source of your problem, but this sounds like 
  the problem we see with FXRuby for the Windows version of Ruby 1.6.7. 
That problem has been fixed in for Ruby 1.6.8 and Ruby 1.7.3, so if you 
can use one of those versions instead it might work better. A Windows 
installer for Ruby 1.7.3 is available at http://rubyinstaller.sf.net.
