Diablo2-LOD 1.09 No-CD fix, ace-file doesn't work??

[jrbach]

I was at 1.07, so I needed to patch-up first...
Unfornicately, I patched with Blizzard's 1.09b and the 1.09 No-CD fix didn't work...Arrrgggh! I had no problem with the ace-file, but it still wants me to slap the CD in.

Am I just missing something, or should I just hope a newer fix is on the way? I'm out of state, hooking a friend up...it's a REAL DRAG having the CD in since it's so friggin noisy...Thanks Blizzard!!

On another note, THANKS to all who help with these fixes! WAY TOO MANY to list, but you know who you are, eh! Countless hours and days without the CDs whining, buzzing and whirring...LOL!
HELP!?!
TIA!
