Hi, did you solve the problem ? I seem to have the same issue.
I checked out dxdiag and found that I have directx 9.0 and quartz.dll
6.5.1.902 which should be 6.5.1.907

When I downloaded the W2000 SP4 directx 9.0a,b,c fix it ran into the same
problem as the auto update did. System hangs half way through the install.
Task manager shows cpu is busy and the only way out is to re boot.

I would appreciate any solution.
