C&C Tiberian sun power issues

[Xentair 0]

From the day I started playing Tiberian sun it worked perfect. Now that I switched to a new laptop with Windows 7, Tiberian sun only works when the laptop is charging. When Unpluged all the menu bars wont fully load and there will be grey bars where it was supose to stretch out in the animation. When it is plugged in and charging it works perfectly. Im also trying to get my cousin to play this game but on his laptop(running Vista) he always gets a DLL missing or damaged filles (I have a feeling he has to run as administrator). This is also an issue with Red Alert 2( menu wont fully load) If anyone can help fix these issues respond please.

The menu doesn't fully load? Can you elaborate a little more, or better yet, get a screenshot?

Well the problem is, The menu does load yet it does not :/ When I take a screenshot It shows the menu fully but in-game all I can see is a bunch of grey bars. (you know when you click on something it has a small animation to open up the sub menu and there is a silver/grey border) the silver/grey border does not expand out into the full menu and stays in the center of the screen and does not scroll out. I can still select stuff yet I cannot see anything so I try to select stuff off the menu by memory. I will try to take a picture of my computer because the screenshot method will not work.
