MGS2 CPU Maxed out

[eijmaster1]

I have a 3.0Ghz Hyper-Threading P4. When I play Metal Gear Solid 2, my cpu maxes out. In the option for the game i have a z-buffer and SSE option to check or uncheck. Is this normal. If so why does it max out? Heres a pic.

It 'could' be related to a bad .avi file - this thread talks about that and has a registry 'fix'. Use at your own risk:
