This looks to be an internet explorer issue, basically this script opens the excel page in an internet explorer activex control. When I ran this sample it prompted me to open the test.xls page or save it to my drive, when I chose to open it, it displayed the spread sheet, although it has visual anomolies. If I chose to save or closed the IE prompt window it showed what you had for an error. I’d say that you have set your IE to always download files and not prompt you for what to do with them, I’m sure I’d do the same if I ever used IE. Try using the excel activex control instead of the IE embed xls method. Here is a maxscript activex browser that lists all activex controls on you computer.
