Try 

xlswrite ('test4.xls', 'arr', 'Third_sheet', 'C3:AB40', 'POI');

this forces that the function uses the functionality provided by the
inbuilt java based excel support and bypasses the use of the excel com
functionality.
(With POI it also works on a machine where no excel is installed, but it
is slower).
I guess excel 2007 has an incompatible com functionality, POI should
solve that.
