Old player, New Bugs

Hey there, I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone knew fixes to a couple bugs.

See I used to play this game obsessively way back in the day, damn like 8 years ago now. (I feel old).

And while grabbing some files off an old work laptop I found that I still had the game CD and all. Lulz were had between me and a couple friends. Started playing it again a couple weeks ago.

Decided to be cool and load the game up on my new computer (win 7, core I5 processor and all that jazz). Patched it up to 1.4 off ubisoft's website.

And well, randomly there will be text missing. It doesnt happen on the old laptop. But for example, when at the realisim select screen, The "turn off weapons commander solution) on the bottom right isnt there. Also numerous messages that I should recieve from command end up blank (or when i ask the radioman to repeat them, he says theres nothing)

Tried messing around a lot. I thought perhaps due to the age of my installer CD and scratechs there mgiht have been problems copying the game over. Went and checked through the files though. I know the files there for the blanket messages that command is supposed to send you and their probability. For a test I set them all to 100% chance of being sent. Still nothing. And I can't get into the .tga files to check the other things.

Then I tried copying the install folder over from the old laptop... and it still doesnt work. But it works fine on the laptop itself. The hell, is it jsut a windows 7 hatred kinda thing?
