Puggwash tend to post in this thread ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/725065 though the red menu icon isn't discussed in there, however this does seem to be down to using the wrong firmware.

i think this maybe due to overloading your sd card, leave some slack space,on 2 gig card you only really get 1.83 gig, so fill it only to 1.65 max
I concur, the red menu usually means a bad firmware or mismatched version, get the links from the official pages.
i had one that was working ok then it went like this and all the file sha dvanishe don the micro sd card but in my computer was reading as full, i had to format and relaod eveything
