Steam version not displaying things...

I have the original release of SH3 on DVD but but it for Steam when it was on sale. I installed the Steam version to avoid using my DVD. The thing is, a LOT of stuff is broken on the Steam version it seems. This is NOT a Windows 7 issue, as I have Windows 7 on my laptop and my DVD copy is installed there with the Starforce crap removed, and running the same setup, and it runs fine. My issues are that a lot of the function keys do nothing. For example, F10 does not take me to the deck gun. More disturbing however, is the blank map. I am playing with most realism settings on. I leave external view enabled for screenshots, for example. The thing is, even when locked onto a ship in my periscope, it does not appear on my map. Nor do the lines indicating the direction of ships based on sonar. Not sure what's going on, but I cannot play if I cannot see anything except through the periscope or when surfaced. I do have the god's-eye map disabled, but I literally NEVER get anything on my map!

Is there a way to fix this or is the Steam version ruined?
