STCC2 and no cd exe will not work

[Sandman]

I installed full install of Swedish Touring Car Championship 2. I then applied the latest patch v3.2, then I dl the no cd exe from game copy world. I then replaced the original exe with the no cd exe. When I start game up It asks me to put in original cd and try again. Once I put cd back in and start game, I can take the cd out and play without it. But I cant start the game without putting in the cd. Any help is most appreciated!!
