When launching Word 2008 (and only word, not Excel, etc) it appears to be trying to open OfficePID.plist and the following error is encountered:

"The xml file cannot be opened because there is no available data view (XSLT)

Details:

Unspecified Error

Location 3"

If you click 'OK' twice, Word will then open. I've tried trashing OfficePID.plist (which is recreated on launch) to no avail. Word doesn't appear to be able to open this file (OfficePID.plist) when I try to open it directly (same error) , not sure if it should, but it appears to be trying to open it on every launch of Word. I do have valid serial keys and this is a recent problem (as of the last update). Any suggestions? I can still use Word but it's fairly annoying...
