>> I would imagine this is because you are using the pdfLaTeX command in TeXworks.  pstricks only works when output is directed to a postscript (.ps) file, not a pdf file.  This involves setting up a typesetting command that executes the following steps:
>> 
>>   - Runs latex on your .tex file (instead of pdflatex)
>> 
>>   - Runs dvips on the resulting .dvi file
>> 
>>   - Runs ps2pdf on the resulting .ps file
>> 
>> This will involve setting up three new commands in the TeXworks menu:
>> 
>>   Preferences -> Typesetting
>> 
>> You could probably reduce this to one command by writing a batch file/shell script that invokes each program in order.

In a recent thread <http://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2009q4/001903.html> a script was posted for MikTeX on Windows. This can probably be adapted to your setup (I can't say more unfortunately, I'm using Mac OS X and know next to nothing about Windows).

Hope this helps,
