1. Uninstall Windows.
2. Install Ubuntu (or your choice of Linux flavor).
3. Install Ruby Version Manager (RVM).
4. Install whatever Rubies you need.
5. Create a gemset for each of your projects.
6. Install the version of Rails you need into each of your gemsets.

That's only half serious, of course. I don't have any idea how to
install, or uninstall Rails on Windows. Still can't figure out why
anyone would actually want to do that. But, I understand there are
scenarios when some have no other choice. Thank God I'm not in that
situation.

Hi

Have you tried "gem uninstall rails" ?

I understand honey's situation. You guys on linux have NO idea how
good you have it with RVM. I tried Pik (windows supposed answer
to RVM) but to no avail. So I turned old laptop into Fedora 16
machine
now I am rocking on RVM and all the cool things Fedora offers (VIM!).

In all seriousness, you should install Oracle's free VirtualBox and
create yourself a new linux virtual machine.

I'm rocking a crappy 2gig RAM desktop computer and work with rails in
my Ubuntu virtual machine (1gb ram assigned for it). It's really
simple and not complicated at all. :)
