Returning to SH4 after long layoff

I have been playing the Silent Hunter series since the first iteration. I loved SH3 and played it religiously for a long time, only to have its life extended by GWX. When the news of SH4 came, I made it my priority to pre-order the title. I spent the $50 on the game (I very very rarely spend full price on new titles), and in hindsight I realize that was a huge mistake. I dealt with the issues of SH4 for as long as I could, eventually relinquishing my copy before Uboat missions came out.

Well recently gogamer.com has a sale on SH4, and I was able to acquire Uboat missions inexpensively. I have also made some extensive upgrades to my PC since, to the point where I can run SH4 COMPLETELY maxed out with FSAA and Aniso (what a treat). I had high hopes that everything would work as it should. I started a career as an American skipper based out of Asiatic Fleet. Here are the issues I have encountered up till now.

1. I can't turn on the radar even though I upgraded before I left port.
2. I'm receiving sound contacts on the surface.
3. Question: What does it mean, when attacked, when some of my crew member pictures turn red?

Help me like this game. Please. I need to sub simulation in my life.
