After two years of no problems with factory installed windows xp on my emachine I am suddenly having problems with the WGA validation. And it is not letting me check for any updates.
First I go to the regular update page and it redirects me to a Genuine Windows Validation page with an error code of Support ID: 0x8DDD100F.
That page redirects me to a new page with the message Windows Validation Error and an error code 0x80080101, and requests to "Validate Again."
This redirects me to a new page with the message "Running the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool" and suggests running an alternate method which when I select "Validate Now" popsup the download legitcheck.hta file.
I then run that and receive the message "Validation Not Completed: ActiveX Error" with error 0x80080296.
Then I select the option to "click here" to learn more and it brings up a "Start Diagnostic" button which passes everything except for freezing on "checking Windows validation ActiveX loaded ".
I've tried changing my TCP/IP setting to 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 with no luck
Is their a fix for this nagging problem. I've already spent hours looking for an answer. This started happening after automatically downloading new critical updates but just before they installed.
Here's the info from MGA diag.
