[0x80080101] - Windows Validation Error

Question
-
I'm attempting to download the Platform SDK for VC++, but when I continue with the validation, I receive this error:
Unknown error encountered during Windows validation. The validation service is unable to determine whether your copy of Windows is genuine. Please validate again. If additional attempts result in validation errors you may want to try again later.
[0x80080101]Now, my copy of XP (Home version) is a retail copy purchased a few years back at Comp USA. No one has ever serviced my machine except myself. I can validate Office with no problems (but again, cannot validate Windows). The MGADT passed all criteria, so I ran the diag tool and it generated the following:Diagnostic Report (1.7.0039.0):

I suppose I didn't make it clear that it's actually been running and updating (including WGA updates) just fine since I installed (and activated) it the same day I purchased it (which was a few years ago).
However, stranger things have happened in the world of computers, so I attempted your advice. When I click on "Activate Windows", I receive the following:
"Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit."
Anything else I can try?

Okay, I went ahead and called them, and for whatever reason, they cannot find the product key, or even the part number of the disc. So, I've been instructed to call back when the department I need to speak with now is available (since it's apparently not Activation's problems anymore). I'll update here when more information is available.
