Pm will know the specifics, but it looks like this is the clue:

> Unknown: open(D:\\DOCUME~1\\Simon\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\
>    php\\upload\\sess_lqv6v4iglp7enm69e8bdpg1cp4,

You session directory is AWOL.

In php.ini, go to the [Session] section and check the values of

  session.save_handler and session.save_path

I expect that you have (from "Failed to write session data (files)."):

  session.save_handler = files

which is normal/default, but

  session.save_path

is unset (commented out)

If this is a test system, then something like:

  session.save_path = d:/Apache/logs

or

  session.save_path = c:/temp

should sort you out. Note that the directory must exist; PHP will not 
create it.
