aoe2 conquerors NO CD patch not working

[pilawhitetrash]

i have a perfect burn ( bin and cue iso image) and the game plays fine with the "cd burner" patch from megagames...but i have trouble trying to play multiplayer with this patch....now the NOCD patch from gamefix should fix the problem of "insert the correct cd" but when i go to apply the patch it says "filesize too small"...i just apply the nocd patch to aoe2_x1.exe right??? does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it to not say "insert correct cd"
thanks in advance
