Cannot access options menu in certain games

CNC Tiberian Sun running on a Surface Pro 3.  The game starts properly, but any time I attempt to access the options menu (using "Esc" key or mouse) the game display freezes.  the sound continues.  I have to force the application to stop to free up the game.  I have attempted to run in compatibility mode for 7 and XP Svc Pck 3.  Suggestions?

    Try earlier compatibility modes; TS predates Windows XP by about three years. I know this problem occurs on C&C 1, and on that game Win95 compatibility mode fixes it. For TS, you might want to try Win95 or Win98.

    No joy on that solution.  The program would not start in W98 or W95.  Ultimately got an error saying it has to run on XP.  Any other suggestions?

    Wait, what? Tiberian Sun predates WinXP by 2 full years. Where did you get the game from?
