>open(/tmp\sess_bb0a9f08d1d420d73d841f8b6cd99c83, O_RDWR) failed: No such

It's right there in the error message.  You're running on a windows machine, but
the sessions temp directory is set to be the unix /tmp dir, which won't exist on
your machine.

Edit php.ini and look for:

; Argument passed to save_handler.  In the case of files, this is the path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this 
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
session.save_path = /tmp

You'll want to change that read:

session.save_path = c:\winnt\temp

Or whatever you want to use as a temp directory.  Then restart your webserver.

HTH
