ghost recon 1.1.5.0 no-cd troubles

[tacticsofthelie]

i'm having problems getting the nocd patch for GR 1.1.5.0 to work. everytime i try to run it i get the fallowing error:

GHOSTRECON caused an invalid page fault in
module GHOSTRECON.EXE at 017f:0055a664.

i'm assuming this is a fault within the .exe itself. i've installed the patch and everything worked fine but i lost the cd thus i need a no-cd patch.

i'm running windows 98.

if anyone else has this problem (so i know i'm not alone) or can relay a possible solution please reply.
