Before you can update to 1.18 from 1.01 you must first download the 
commandPrep10.dli file. Did you do this? (That information is in the 
ReadMe that comes with 1.18). The error you reported is not what I'd 
expect in this case though. Is it possible that you have some kind of 
MIDI Loop?

Hmmm, that's weird. If you can go one way, there should be no problem 
going the other way. First get the OS update completed, then let's see 
if your other problems 'magically' go away.
