nickster Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 So i downloaded something that is a RAR file and i dont know how to unRAR it or get it to play. Can someone help?
boo Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 download winrar from http://www.rarlab.com/
nickster Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Posted January 25, 2006 and then after i extract the rar files they turn to iso files which when i try to play them it tells me that Windows can't recognize the file.
jroc Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Either burn the .iso to cd or dvdor extract the data out of the .iso and go from there. Burning the .iso to cd or dvd might be easier, tho. U could also mount the .iso with a virtual cd app. Like Virtual CD or DaemonTools DameonTools might be better since its free.
nickster Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Posted January 25, 2006 So i got virtual cd and i "mounted" it onto a virtual cd drive, but now i'm stuck and i'm not sure what to do
splintax Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Well, if you have a look at My Computer or whatever, you should see a new CD drive there. Once you've mounted the ISO you can use it like a real CD. (So double-click on the new drive and see what happens )
nickster Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Posted January 25, 2006 Well i clicked on the virtual cd drive in my computer and it just brought me to a folder where it showed that it was just a regular iso folder. All i want to do is play my game
Ghost21 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Shouldn't you install it first or something? Look for setup.exe or similar.
ScubaSteve Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 download daemontools , install it , mount the iso with it then install or run whateverthe iso contains - OR use either winrar or magiciso, extract the contents of the iso and install it. or burn the iso to cd using magiciso, nero or any other software that burns isos. then put ur cd in.
