i recently had to reinstall everything on my computer and that included ruby, cucumber, and watir. in the past i had a library of scripts that worked for a very long time, however after the reinstallation everything seems broken. i suspect this is probably due to updated versions of ruby, cucumber and watir.
at the moment i am getting this error. and its happening at Watir::Browser.start...
