updating winxp with service 1a

[Robert]

I have twice tried to update Windows xp with service pack
1a. Both times it seems to update fine but when it
reboots, I get no icons on the desk top and am unable to
access anything. Once I uninstall the windows xp service
pack 1, everything works again. I am running PCV-RX670
Sony VAIO that is about 1 1/2 yrs old. With this
problem, I don't think it is worth updating.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you
