Help!!! TF2 Problem

[Fredd Johnson]

Ok, so whenever I go on TF2 for like 30 or so minutes, I get a message when I'm on a server saying that the VAC servers are being blocked by my computer. Than it shows a website link to the steam help site. But whenever I try to do what the help says, like type something in console, the console says that I have insufficient access even though I'm on the administration console and login. So I found out that my firewall is not on and whenever I try to turn it on, a message pops up saying " Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings Error code 0x80070422". When I looked up how to fix that to turn on the firewall to make an exception for TF2, it just dosent help. I thank you for reading this big paragraph and your time to help me.

(P.S. I have a Windows 8 laptop if that helps)

Perform the following steps and install the automatic updates and then try enabling the firewall.

All its saying is that Valve can't access your files. That can be changed in the steam client.

Console is for in-game features and for input devices.
