Did you install Dotnet Framework 1.1?
Yes, the instructions specifically say that you must use Alt+Tab. This can cause other problems in the game, so I always use the Windows key, which has a similar result and seems to work fine for me

NOTE: Don't save you game before you are out of port traffic, because otherwise on reload all static units in your proximity will lose their waypoints and sink. This is a known limitation of Sh3 1.4b and, unless UBI creates another patch, nothing can be done about it.
2.Alt-Tab out of Silent Hunter III.
[IN WINDOWS]
3.Start Sh3Gen to create your intelligence update.
[IN SH3GEN]
4.Click the button right of the entry "Savegame" and browse to your savegame.
If you have selected a savegame, the button "Generate" will become enabled. Click on it to start the generation process.
NOTE: It is not possible to generate multiple updates in succession. Therefore, before you can generate a new update, you must restart Sh3Gen. However, there is no problem if you restart Sh3Gen and repeatedly generate the files until you are satisfied with the resulting intelligence update.
5.Return to Silent Hunter III to continue your mission.
[BACK IN SH3]
6.Reload your savegame.
If everything went correctly, your ingame map will be updated with new entries, and your war diary will contain an intelligence report with the most valuable information. This data comes from SHIII's campaign files, so there is a good to very high chance that the targets can in fact be found.
