Excel files and gibberish again - Compareit 4.1

Greetings.

Happily upgrading for the excel comparison support, I tried Compare It on one spreadsheet pair - worked like a champ.

Tried it on another pair of files and I get the binary gibberish.

Ideas?

We are using third party library to get text from excel files, and every now and then users report on problem files. If you could send us your file, usually problem is fixed within few days. Before doing that, please check recent beta at http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp4bu.zip - it could help.

Exe you suggested didn't work, so now you have a zip file you can look at. Just to be clear, this isn't a critical issue for me, but being able to compare excel files with this ease is a Godsend to me. :)
