Answer Wiki:
dont be concern about that "tmp" file, bec. that file is a temporary file being made by microsoft office/excel when your trying to edit/save/opening a file(think of it as a scratch pad), this file also will disappear when you close out the microsoft office/ excel.

Oh ok, more info is always helpful :-) Try running a repair installation of Office. Make sure all MS updates have also been downloaded and applied. Was this an upgrade from 2003 to 2007 or a fesh install of 2007?

To run a repair go to the control panel, add/remove choose to modify your Office installation and you will get the option to repair it. If that does not help try an ininstall/reinstall.
