| 668426 | 2008-05-12 02:45:00 | someone sent me a game, its in iso file, i got told to open it with magic iso thats on my computer and burn it to disk, then install the game from there - so i copied it onto disk, opened it up and its still iso file and it still opens with magic iso. i have no idea at all how this works! How do i get the game going? do i need to convert it or do something else? im lost |

| 668427 | 2008-05-12 02:48:00 | Don't be pirating games now will ye. Arrch. Forum Rules. (pressf1.co.nz) What you've done is burn the .iso file to a disk as any old file, in this case it's an image. So when you open the disk you've burnt, it's still an image. You actually need to burn the .iso file to disk with the burning program realizing that it's actually an image file you're burning. Use ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/)for that. Or use daemon tools to mount the image rather than burning it to CD. |

| 668429 | 2008-05-12 02:53:00 | its not a pirated game, not that im aware of my cousin has the game on a disk and he said its too large to send by email so he made it into an iso file which compresses it, thats the story i was told anyway |

| 668430 | 2008-05-12 02:54:00 | In that case it's pirated, assuming it's a game that you pay for. What game is it? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 668431 | 2008-05-12 03:01:00 | Altho,I think if you use Magiciso (unregistered) it wont burn the whole ISO anyway (only upto 300 MB, which is usually smaller than an ISO) Its a limitation until you buy it. |

| 668432 | 2008-05-12 03:05:00 | it's a card game pack which contains solitaire, spider solitare hearts etc. it used to come with my computer but it got deleted by my son, i could have downloaded them free (legally!) but because im on dial up, it kept cutting out, and it would have taken hours so my cousin said he has them all copied onto a disk which he would send to me, then said it would be easier sending them across in email, he told me he created an iso file which compresses it and all i need to do is open them with magic iso then extract them into documents and copy them to disk :stare: |

My son had paid for it around 2 years ago. He can use it, but isn't bothered about telling me how to use it, he won't do it for me either |

| 668434 | 2008-05-12 03:09:00 | Sorry - I see now. Next time state what it is in the .iso first! :p Follow instructions in my first post. Download ImgBurn, it's only a small file, install it and select the "burn .iso file to disk" option. Burn it to a blank disk, then open the disk and voila, all the card games will be there. If you don't want to use up a CD, you can download daemon tools, that will mount the image, so to all intents and purposes, your PC thinks you've just put the disk in, but thats slightly more complicated. I'd use the imgburn option - that way you have all the games on a disk for later. |

| 668435 | 2008-05-12 03:29:00 | thanks, and sorry about the confusion, i wasn't thinking of pirated games when i first posted. my bad. install it and select the "burn .iso file to disk" option. Burn it to a blank disk, then open the disk and voila, all the card games will be there. theres an option 'write image file to disk" - nothing that says 'burn .iso file to disk' or is that the same thing? excuse my computer illiterateness :o |
