Your code works fine for me on irb on win xp.
Can you actually open a 'genuine' xls file on your machine to see if
ms-excel/office is working properly? I've had problems before where
win32ole wouldn't work b/c the ms-office software license had not yet
been activated (don't remember what the specific error was, tho).
