ISO files are compilations ready to be burned onto a CD. You have to open NERO Or what ever CD writing program you use , then select open and choose the .iso file. you can get http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm which allows u to use Windows XP built in software to write the iso onto cd.

burn the file onto CD, and all the contents will be on the CD.

there is a program to let u view the ISO u can get it from http://www.undisker.com/index.html , but burning it on cd is the fastest.

Let me if that works.

You can use an iso without having to burn it into a cd. If you use daemon tools, you can mount it into a fake cd and use it as if it were a real cd. Try it. It is what I use to test games. You can save a lot of cds... Try it!!! 8)

extrac the content of the ISO with WinISO if you like. However, if it is a bootable cd (norton, windows, etc) you should probbly open the ISO using nero (look for burn image somewhere in menu). Or load it with any other burning utility. If it is an SVCD and you want to play it instead of burning and then playin, just drag the ISO to VLC player from Videolan.org

Hope this helped in any way even though many answered
