Normally when you install Ruby on Windows, sets the RUBYGEMS env var to "rubygems -rubygems". My guess is that when you reinstalled, for some reason this did not happen. You can do this manually and it should fix your configuration.
Note to others: this solution can also work on Mac if you don't want to add "require 'rubygems'" to your scripts.
