Default Which service pack do I have? SP1 or SP1a

Which HELPABOUT or Properties do I go to check whether I have Windows SP1
installed or SP1a?
Properies of My Computer shows Service Pack 1. Is this general information
that I have installed a service pack or does it state that it isn't SP1a?
Thanks for any info.

Gino

Thanks for reply.
It states Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600
I guess this is SP1, and not SP1a.
Am I right?
Thanks again.
Gino

Most welcome, Gino.

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

In the right pane, scroll down to: SubVersionNumber if SP1a is installed it
will read a.

Also he

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Wind ows XP\SP1\Q324720

And:

The title for the Windows XP Service Pack 1 entry in the Add or Remove
Programs tool in Control Panel is changed to "Windows XP Service Pack 1a."

Yes. But I take it you're aware that SP1 and SP1a are the same
except that SP1a doesn't have some stuff that M$ were required to remove
following a court case? So if you have SP1 you don't need 1a.
If you *really* want to know what's in your box download Aida32
from:
http://www.webattack.com/get/aida32.shtml - it tells you everything
about your hardware and software.

On the same token and that said, the difference can be tested easily by
going to Start/Run/CMD and typing in: wjview

Differences Between Windows XP SP1 and Windows XP SP1a
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813926

As for Aida32, they have shut down any further versions. Hold on to the one
you have. ) Also, Belarc does a fine job as well:
