Hi Dwayne,
If you have installed the hotfix, then repairing the office won't help, I actually ran the office Diagnostics tools from - Start - Programs- Microsoft Office- Office Diagnostics Tools- Run Diagnostics
Regarding your issue, we can try few more things and test.
1. Add the site to the Trusted zones.
2. Are you using different accounts for Windows login and Sharepoint login ? If yes, try to login to your Windows logon using the account which has access to the sharepoint site and check, because as per the following Link, it seems to be a permissions issue - http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_24129178.html
