My old pc had windows 10. I am running into problems with downloading maps on waw cod5 freeze tag as it will start to download but then stop before finishing download and freezes the screen. The only way to get out of it is to actually shut down pc by turning it off at the power button. Nothing else works. Is there a program that needs to be run or just some kind of procedure I can use to fix this problem? I cant do it myself but my kids said they can if they knew what needs to be done. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Go to settings of pc and search “end task” and that will pop up a option that can be enabled. Key53 1

They found the map packs on windows 11 pc and downloaded them to the game for now, it was ten separate packs but still get a lot of freeze ups when start of new game. And still have to manually shut down pc as even the curser is un controllable when screen freezes. Hoping if they down load them on flash drive from windows 10 pc and transfer them to windows 11 pc everything will be fine
