Need help pls (error)

No, thats all I can think of, the software is throwing an exception trying 
to create a socket. This is usually caused by some over-zealous security 
software intercepting socket operations. You could try accessing 
the "Ruby Shell" link from the start menu (in the same folder as the 
Metasploit3 link, Online Update, etc) and the typing in the following two 
commands:

require "socket"
c = TCPServer.new(4444).accept()

If either of these throws an error, something is preventing Ruby from 
creating a TCP service. This has nothing to do with the Framework.
