If you just loaded RFB and RSRD than any saves prior to that are no good.
I see you have the game in F/Program Files/
It's best to have a separate folder for the game. F:/Silent Hunter/
Program Files causes problems in Vista or Win7.
As to the other thing about losing map markings etc. Never had that happen in TMO but did in FOTRS. For some reason it seems to save at a different point in time??? Didn't crash the game and eventually the ship came on as it did before. Strange???
