Hi Sue,
There is a newsgroup for Windows Update issues
microsoft.public.windowsupdate
which may be the best place for your posting.
The firewall is set on/off in the properties of the network
interface. R-click on it and select properties then the
Advanced tab (it is in the Network Connections control
panel applet)
You may download the most recent DirectX release at
