Answer
One of the pak files for the game may be corrupt. Please copy the pak files from the cd and overwrite the ones on your computer.

1) Place the first cd in the drive, exit any windows it opens
2) Open my computer
3) Right click on the call of duty: United Offensive cd and select explore
4) Double click on the setup folder
5) Double click on the data folder
6) Highlight the UO folder
7) Go to the edit menu and select copy

8) Open my computer again
9) Browse to the game directly (default is c:\program files\call of duty)
10) Go to the edit menu and select paste
11) You should get a warning about overwriting files, you want to make sure you allow it to overwrite.
12) Once you have copied all the above files over leave this window open but close the one for the cd drive and remove the cd from the drive

13) Repeat this process for the second cd (the directories and steps are exactly the same just put disc two in and repeat)

The game crashes or freezes while I am playing a single player game.
