Can't validate - error 0x80080299 and 0x80080101

Question
-
I have a Sony Desktop with Windows XP Home which was pre-installed on my computer and I have since upgraded to SP2. Now I am trying to download some software and I am being told Windows has encountered an unknown error - 0x80080299. When I retry validation I get another error - 0x80080101. After reviewing these forums I see that in June of this year Antsman posted the same problem. I tried all the solutions given to him and none of them worked. He also had a Sony Vaio computer. Here is a copy of the WGA Diagnostic Report. Please advise me what to do next. By the way, I validated my software several times in the past and it always passed the first time.

Bobbi,
Do you receive any other error keys? Also do you have the original recovery media software which came with your system?

Bobbi,
Can you please share with me the steps you followed in the post your referencing? The 299 error code you are receiving is an issue with your XML services on the computer. If you compare your Diagnostic Report to others on the forum, you will notice that yours is missing a bunch of text below the "Office Details" line. We commonly refer to this area as the XML blob. This is caused by a missing Registry Key. I will provide you the steps to resolve this XML issue.
Fix (Part 1):
1) Click “Start” button, then “Run”
2) In the Run window, Type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll <Click OK>
(Note: This will register the msxml3.dll and the registry entry ‘HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSXML.DOMDocument’ will be generated) If this does not work, the msxml3.dll may be missing or corrupt. Follow the below Fix (Part 2), in that case:Fix (Part 2):
1) Go to the Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 7 (SP7) download page at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=28494391-052b-42ff-9674-f752bdca9582&DisplayLang=en
2) From the files available, download “msxml3.msi”
3) Double click the file and follow the steps to install.
4) Click “Start” button, then “Run...”
5) In the Run window, Type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll <Click OK>
Please be sure to backup or otherwise offload any data from the hard disk prior making any changes in the registry. You should be okay because the files are being registried and no changes but still a good idea to ensure any critical data is saved. Please let us know if the above steps resolved your issues. Have a great weekend.
Thank youStephen Holm, MS
