Torrents

You can open ISO files in WinRAR. It's a 40 day free trial, but when it's expired it's still usable.

Doesn't that just show you all of the garbage in the file, though?

I think what he needs to do is either burn the image onto a CD or mount it on a virtual drive. I've never heard of actually needing to open it and view its contents. I could be wrong, though.

who would i go about taking the ISO file into a cd to be burned - do i have to go through DAEMON TOOLS?

Nah. Any good burning software will give you the option to straight copy a CD, or burn files to a CD. Choose the latter and select your ISO file to burn.

after that the cd i burned will take the place of the game itself? correct

It works essentially like this:

Say I want to make a copy of my Diablo 2 Expansion CD. I can make an image file of the entire CD. That would be the ISO file.

If I were to take that image file and burn it to a CD, that CD would, essentially, be a copy of my Diablo 2 Expansion CD.

Just the same, if I were to send that file to someone else over the internet, they could use it to burn a copy of the Diablo 2 Expansion CD as well.

ok so another question. I downloaded 'Epic Movie' just now through my torrent, and went to open it with WMP - it didnt have the codec so i did some searching and found it. Now when i play it i have 0 sound. what do i do?

i extracted it that way and im still getting the bad image error

I recommend daemon tools for image mounting. It free and very easy to use.
