When Excel opens, it must create some temporary files. Where is it
trying to create them? Is there space there? Do you have permission to
write there?

If you can start Excel and go to Tools|Options then look on the General
tab to see what your default file location is and what other files you
are trying to open at startup.

If you cannot start Excel, you can look in the Registry, but becareful,
since improper changes in the registry can cause all kinds of problems.
  Start|Run, type regedit, and press OK. Expand the following tree
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER
     Software
       Microsoft
         Office
           10.0
             Excel
               Options
and look at the AltStartup and DefaultPath keys. "" in DefaultPath
refers to your standard "My Documents" directory.
