I had the same problem. It has to do with ipython.el not finding the
IPython executable.

To fix it, open ipython.el, and replace line
(when (executable-find "ipython")
with
(when (executable-find "ipython.bat")

Next, add file ipython.bat to your path containing something like the
following:
C:\Python23\python.exe "C:\Program Files\IPython\IPython_shell.py"

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work right on windows. The prompts
are missing so it's almost unusable.
