Here is a terminal command to hunt down corrupt .plist files. After it is done, select all in the terminal window and copy to TextEdit so to more easily find corrupt .plist files, if any.

plutil-1.txt

*UPDATE*

Joel Siegel, suggests the following command.(it works!!!)

As he explains, “For non-Unix-heads, that last little but after the ‘;’ sends the output to a text file in the Documents folder in your home directory called plutil-1.txt. You can of course name that file whatever you wish, and place it in any directory you wish, by altering the path and the filename. Beware: If a file named plutil-1.txt already exists in the destination folder, this command will overwrite the old file with the new one, without warning. You can *append* the output to an existing text file by using >> instead of >”.
