I am answering, not because I know the answers, but because I suspect that few people here use Perforce. I have used Perforce too, after finding out that it is free for 1-2 developers. (I don't currently use it, since I don't work at the company any more; in general, I don't do much programming these days.)
If anyone reads this message, and is interested in Perforce, the address is
www.perforce.com. Even if you work alone, keeping track of multiple versions of each file under development is extremely useful.
I have used Perforce for 2-3 years, and never had the problems you mentioned. I think it worked neither much better, nor much worse, than VSS which I had used before, at another company.
The menu thing - perhaps it is not related to Perforce. Check whether you have both files for the menu (.MNX, .MNT).
The filename stuff - perhaps you can find something interesting in the Perforce options.
And talking about options, don't forget to turn of the option of having local files R/O.
If this doesn't help, I do hope that someone else can give you better information.
Greetings,
Hilmar.
