there is no ieeeconf.cls on ctan.  there are source files for
generating IEEEconf.cls, but the class itself is not separately
stored.

the ieeeconf directory was last updated in march of this year (by the
author of the class file); is it perhaps that the version provided by
your conference site is so old that it's incompatible with the current
offering?

how do you "update" the system?  what system?  (that is, what tex
distribution are you using?)

it is impossible to deal with your complaint without knowing what
*exactly* you are complaining about.
