BackgrounDRb 0.2.x doesn't work in Windows.
If you run backgroundrb on a production *nix server but develop on win32 machines, you can apply a patch to make Rails load without backgroundrb if it detects it's in a win32 env:

alternatively, use a previous version of backgroundrb - i got hold of it a while ago after googling for it for a while.

not sure about future support on Windows, but you can sign up to the backgroundrb list and get updates about when releases are made: http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/backgroundrb-devel
Here's the Trac site: http://backgroundrb.devjavu.com/
You can run the latest backgroundrb (0.2) on windows if you use the cygwin environment. The drawback is that the ruby provided by cygwin is a bit slower than the one provided by one-click ruby installer.
See http://www.cygwin.com for more information
