AFAIK nobody has got RA2 to work fully on windows 8. I assume similar problems are encountered for Tib Sun.

 

Try changing compatibility mode to windows XP SP3. Installing this into your Tib Sun directory may help http://tore.cnc-comm.../TS_Win8fix.zip but i think its only for the hard copy.

TS doesn't work properly with windows 8/8.1, RA2 and YR are mostly fine but alt+tabbing is broken
