Issues fixed

Possible fixes for general crashing
| Instructions |

Game freezes during FMV movie clips such as the intro with spinning Activision logo
The fix is to force the CoD2 exe file to only use one processor core, but that doesn't mean the problem is exclusive to multicore processors; the same thing happens even on a Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading. Note that opening the Task Manager after starting the game and setting the process CPU affinity from there does not work. We have to get a little more involved than that. One last thing: the following directions are for the singleplayer exe file. If you find you need to apply this fix to multiplayer as well simply repeat the steps for CoD2MP_s.exe.
