When I try and start a trace I'm getting the following error:
Una ble to read trace definition file Microsoft SQL Server TraceDefinition
8.0.0.xml. Click OK to retrieve it from server. Retrieval may take a few
moments.

I click OK and it seems that nothing happens. This is trying to run a trace
against (LOCAL). Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hmmm - I had this problem quite sometime ago (I think under SQL2005).
I registered a dll manually and it fixed the issue... see if it helps you.
Run the command below from a command prompt.

regsvr32 msxml6.dll
