Well, I just tried this again on the other NT machine again and it worked 
too. (However it has since been rebooted again, so that may have had some 
effect; maybe I missed a reboot after one of the path changes or 
something.)

And restoring the registry (on the NT machine that had the strange 
tooltips death after every login) fixed the problem. Due to an approaching 
storm, I didn't get a chance to reinstall Ruby again to see whether this 
(plus wanting to reboot after getting the installer but before doing the 
Ruby installation) could be anything more than just a bizarre coincidence.
