Will be more helpful if you provide us with the versions of ruby.

Anyway, if you''re getting that MSVCR80.dll is missing, that means that
something is getting loaded and it is reaquiring that missing library.

That could be because you installed a gem that was build with VC8
(which is not the same as the One-Click Installer, in case you used
it).

Please, provide more background information.

Can you provide your RUBY_PLATFORM and Ruby version?
ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

ruby -e "puts RUBY_PLATFORM"
i386-mswin32

I can bet that you have i386-mswin32_80 as platform, since rubygems is
switching to pure ruby gems instead of pre compiled ones.
