radrails dev server startup error: load_missing_constant

Question

Here is the stacktrace I get in the console:

It was fine before. I've made no env change(that i remember). Very strange. I am running RadRails on a Windows Vista machine.

You're running quite outdated rails version and it says that you're lacking ActiveRecord gem.
