Does having both SP1 and SP1a installed cause any problems? Please reply to
group.. Thanks, Frank
 
Frank,

If you already have SP1, you don't need to install SP1a. Windows XP SP1a is the same as Windows XP SP1 except that the Microsoft virtual machine (VM) is removed in SP1a.

No. It should not be a problem, though not needed. What does "Winver" command say? Should reflect the last installed SP.
