Updating Excel files leaves temp files with no extension behind

I have a user that when she tries to update excel files on the network drive, it saves a file with 5 or 6 random numbers and no file extension, and it doesn't update the original excel file. She has the correct permissions to the drive, anyone know what is causing this?

Does she have Autosave turned on in Excel? What version of Excel is she using?

Alright it happened again today - auto save was on, I turned it off temporarily to see if it happens again.
Remember, If nothing works, can you post a screenshot of what are the files that are getting created ?
