Cucumber no output screen - ruby

Question

I'm pretty new to cucumber automated testing. When I first started, a co-worker had set up everything for me on my computer, and (now that he's gone) I've run into a problem that I can't seem to figure out.
I'm using cucumber to test a web application. In the past when I run the script, an internet explorer pops up, and I can see each line of the script being executed.
I recently had to reinstall cucumber, ruby, watir, etc., and that internet explorer screen no longer pops up.
I installed Ruby 1.9.3, cucumber (gem install cucumber), watir (gem install watir). Am I missing something? Is it an extra plug in? The script still runs. However, instead of taking say 1 min + to run a 320 step script, it now takes 1.5 seconds. There are no error messages. When run from the command window, it literally looked like it just scrolled through the script instead of going through each step.
What is the pop up screen called anyways? A scenario screen? Output screen?
It was really difficult for me to look it up on google because I had no idea how to refer to that screen.
Any help is appreciated. and I realize I might not have described the problem well enough. Just leave a comment, and I can try to clarify it more.
Feature:
'To go to a webpage'
Scenario:
# ----------
# GO TO PAGE
# ----------
Given that I have gone to the Login page at "url"
#
# ----------
# LOG IN
# ----------
When I add "username" to the Username
When I add "password" to the Password
And click the Login button
Then "Welcome" should be mentioned on the page
script definitions:
require "rubygems"
require "watir"
puts "Browser is running..."
END {
puts "Closing browser..."
}
BEGIN {
puts "Starting browser..."
}
Given /^that I have gone to the Login page at "(.*)"$/ do |item|
#browser = Watir::IE.start(item)
lnk_found = 0
#browser.links.each do |lnk|
if lnk.id.to_s.matches("overridelink")
lnk_found += 1
end
end
if lnk_found > 0
#browser.link(:id, "overridelink").click
end
# puts "Watir Version: #{Watir::IE::VERSION}"
#browser.maximize
end
#
#
#
When /^I add "(.*)" to the Username$/ do |item|
#browser.text_field(:name, "loginName").set(item)
end
#
#
When /^I add "(.*)" to the Password$/ do |item|
#browser.text_field(:name, "passwd").set(item)
end
#
#
#
Then /^"(.*)" should be mentioned on the page$/ do |item|
if #browser.text.include?(item)
# puts "TEST PASSED. FOUND >#{item}<"
else
puts "*** TEST FAILED ***. >#{item}< was not found."
end
end

I don't know what exactly fixed it but after taking suggestions and advices from different people I basically uninstalled and reinstalled watir several times.
I also updated the code, took out "require 'rubygems'" and replaced Watir::IE.start with Watir::Browser.start.
It seems like the problem was the existing scripts I worked with was based off of older versions of watir/cucumber/ruby, so when I had to reinstall everything, the scripts were no longer compatible with newer versions of everything.
