Problem starting watir-webdriver on Windows 7 with IE9

I try to use watir-webdriver with IE9 on 64-bit Windows 7. When I try to open a new browser, I get the following error message: any ideas for a solution?

C:\watir>irb
irb(main):001:0> require "rubygems"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require "watir-webdriver"
=> true
irb(main):003:0> browser = Watir::Browser.new(:ie)
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchDriverError: Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Protected Mode must be set to the same value (enabled or disabled) for all zones.

I can use watir-webdriver on the same machine in order with Firefox 4, so I assume the problem is with IE9 and IE9?

Have you tried disabling protected mode when an error message tells you?

Tools → Options → Security → Disable Enable Protected Mode
