After uninstalling Ruby 1.85 and installing Ruby 1.82, when I give the command, "gem install watir 1.5.1.1127.gem" or "gem install watir" in the folder where the watir gem was downloaded, Windows is giving out an error message saying, "gem is not a recognizable command or a batch file" (the error message that comes when we type in a non-existant command in DOS).  

The most common cause for this error is that c:\ruby\bin is not in your 
PATH environment variable.  Try starting a new DOS shell, and that 
should pick up the environment that was set up by the latest Ruby install.

You can also try typing the full path - c:\ruby\bin\gem if I remember 
correctly (I'm on Linux at the moment), or c:/ruby/bin/gem.bat under Cygwin.
