I've tried re-ininstalling Ruby, but that didn't fix the problem.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I removed and reinstalled Ruby and now it's fine. The difference was when I first installed it, I installed to C:\Program Files. I saw some errors relating to the path. When I re-installed Ruby I left it at the default directory of C:\Ruby32-x64\ and now everything works OK.
