Hello Peter,
When saving, Tex-Edit expects a file specification, such as
save window 1 in file "Macintosh HD:thisFile"
(Note the keyword "file" before the path string.)
Instead, what you've provided in this case is a location, i.e. a folder, as evidenced by the colon (:) at the end of your path string.

save window 1 in "Macintosh HD:temp_folder:one:" <-- ends with a colon
Also, you may be experiencing a string to file spec coercion resulting from a scripting addition on your at-work computers that your at-home computer doesn't have. (perhaps Jon's Commands?)
If you wish to save in a certain folder, you could try something like this.
set folderPathString to "Macintosh HD:temp_folder:one:"
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
activate
set thisNameString to name of window 1
save window 1 in file (folderPathString & thisNameString) as "TEXT"
close window 1 saving no
end tell
Else, if your intention was to save in a file named "one"
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
activate
save window 1 in file "Macintosh HD:temp_folder:one" as "TEXT"
close window 1 saving no
end tell
