Using emacs 21.2.1 under Win2K.

Problem:
When I visit a ruby file (*.rb) the
ruby mode is NOT entered automatically.

The file "ruby-mode.el" is apparently in the correct
place since a doing

M-: (load "ruby-mode")

does work and start the mode.

I have the following 2 lines in my .emacs

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rb$" . ruby-mode))
    (autoload 'ruby-mode "Ruby mode" "Ruby mode" t)

but this apparently does not work.

HELP!!
