Works for me. Not too helpful for your particular problem, but it does
narrow it down to your machine :(

What version of ruby are you running?  Have you tried using the
Windows OLE browser to find the iTunes OLE methods? The error looks
like something is wrong with the iTunes OLE bindings on your machine
and not the ruby win32 hooks.

I hate to even type this, but you might try reinstalling iTunes and
see if the problem goes away.

Blessings,
TwP
