There was no way to get out of the periscope without launching, so I had to scale back to 1280x1024 (the only other res the game would run without crashing) so that the cursor would appear in a different spot.

No way to get out of periscope view? How about pressing F2 or some other view change key?

Ouch! I too have made that mistake, but since running GWX I haven't had a problem with that little button!

Ahh yes..the enter button....my biggest enemy on the keyboard!

I find myself..pressing this button and wouldn't notice a thing.. When I..approach a convoy however, "Herr Kaleun there are no more torpedoes!", Bernard is not only on the U-boat..

Don't worry about accidental torpedo launches, it happened to the real U-boat crew too. On one occasion (I believe it was the U-99 commanded by Otto Kretschmer) a torpedoman lost his balance and fell on the release handle resulting into a launch. Kretschmer (who was known to lose his temper quite quickly when confronted with what he called incompetence) was furious at first untill he noticed that this accidental torpedo had actually hit a ship inside the convoy. Speaking of luck.
