Horrible graphics glitch with navmap compass rose

Hi all! New here, so please don't lynch me if this happens to be a newb question...

I've been playing SHIII with GWX 2.0 for a couple of weeks and I'm totally hooked with this great game (and a great mod too!). However, I have some awful graphics glitches, probably because my olde tyme laptop graphics card (Geforce4 440 Go) doesn't support pixel shading. Here's something I have to live with:

-Psychedelic greenish-purple colors on crewmembers
-Ship flags usually not showing
-Ship and torpedo wakes are white rectangles
-On shallow waters the water is brown
-The GWX u-boat compass rose that shows on small-scale (i.e. showing ship-shaped icons) nav maps is a grey rectangle covering everything beneath it

Now, I can live with almost all of this (I just imagine that my sub commander has a habit of eating strange mushrooms while on patrol...) but the compass rose thing is pretty annoying, since it effectively prevents me from using the small-scale map sizes. Is there a way to remove it - or fix this situation some other way? I do have the latest graphics drivers installed.
