Not sure what forum you're talking about, but as noted on the FXRuby
home page, we have a mailing list for questions like these:

    http://www.fxruby.org/community.html

I'm pretty sure you didn't post there (or maybe I just missed this question).

I've already seen your follow-up e-mail, but yes, it appears to be a
difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. This may be something
that can be fixed in the FOX library; it's not really anything that
can be addressed in the FXRuby layer.

Hope this helps,
