Or use daemon tools to mount.....

Just a tip, most of those torrent sites have forums. So if you post in there about a certain torrent file you downloaded they will know the exact answers.

Soooooo...

I just copy the file to a data disk or a blank DVD disk or something and put it in the coputer again?

Tada?

no CD key or nothing ?

You will still need a key if the software you are downloading normally asks for a key.
The .iso file is the image of the install cd/dvd so when you burn it, it's an exact copy of one you would buy in a store.

Also whats that program Microsoft gives away for free that you can mount .iso files with? I use it at home but I am at work now. I find it's better than dameon tools because it's not full of adware and stuff.

There are too many kinds of files and ways of doing things, which depends on who made the torrent file. Which is why I said go to those forums of the place you downloaded it from and ask about that certain file.

We can 100% clearly help you.

It's easier to burn to cd then to mount with daemon - which can mess your system up.

Just burn to cd, then install - any files you need, key, etc will be in a /CRACK directory on the cd or a readme.txt outside the iso.

Daemon Tools had adware? Isn't it an option to install the software they request you install it with? I always uncheck it before installing.

Only if you forget to uncheck the box does it install adware. Though i stick with 3.47 cause it does what i need without anything extra.
