Problem with ISO files

[Catchen22]

How do I use an ISO file? I heard i'm supposed to burn them to a CD then I could play the game. I burned it to a CD and I still get nothing. The file is there but how do I use it? How do I get it to install my game so I can play it. It came in two seperate ISO files each 700+MB. Could somebody tell me how to use these files? I already tried clicking on them but nothing happens. I'm running win 2000 w/ 512MB Ram and 1.4 ghz AMD. Don't know if you need to know that or not.

How did you burn them? I'm pretty sure that you have to burn it as an iso or image file, it should be a special option. What program are you using? Nero? Also, there's a program that will "unzip" the iso file. I think it's called ISObuster, but I'm not sure....try searching for the database for iso help.

use a program called deamontool... it can setup a few virtual cd-roms to your machines.. then you can mount your iso files to the virtual rom.. and enable you to run setup directly to install your games. Also, sometimes games require you to put the disc into the cd-rom to run.. (like starcraft).. in that case, you can start the game w/ the iso file mounted onto the virtual rom...

it's a great tool (no need to burn any cd at all, assuming you have a lot of space to spear..)
