Help this helps.
Edit: Then exit cmd and reopen it.

Remember that Windows is not a good choice for Ruby and Rails development and in the future you might want to move to a virtual machine with linux (for example free VMWare Player with Ubuntu or Mint). This way you will also practice some console skills.
