Support DirectX problem???

A few weeks ago my laptop got damaged and i had to change my hard drive,and now i have many problems.On many sites i get errors like "Your connection is not private",and i also cannot install many programs such as antiviruses,and my windows cannot search for updates.
I installed silent hunter 3,but i have a problem where there are no explosions.For example,if my torpedo hits a ship,it says torpedo impact,i can hear the sound of the explosion,and it sinks.If a depth charge explodes,it simply dissapears,there is no explosion animation,but my submarine takes damage.Shells too,if they hit a ship,they dissapear,but they do damage.
I thought that the reason this happens is because i don't have directX installed,but when i try to install it,it says "A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled."
I tried installing this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...s.aspx?id=8109
And it does install.I played the torpedo training mission,and my torpedoes did explode.However,when i played a career or single mission,they didn't explode,and if i tried to play the torpedo training mission,the torpedoes also didn't explode.I reinstalled directx several times,and then i tried the torpedo training mission again,and the torpedoes exploded,but again,after i played the single missions or career,it didn't work again.
Now it seems like even if i do install directx again,the torpedoes do not explode anymore,even in the training mission.
I will soon buy a new computer anyway,but it will take some time,and until then i will have to keep using this piece of junk.
I doubt any fixes exist,but does anyone have any idea about what should i do?
