You need to 'mount' them  :tongue:

Basically this....
These files are 'images' of the original discs.  You need a program that will create a 'virtual drive'.  A virtual drive is like a fake disc drive.  The program will create it and then you computer will think it has an extra disc drive.

Then you mount the file to the disc drive using the same program, and you computer then thinks there is a disc in the disc drive.  This is what mounting is.. putting an image in a virtual drive (you computer thinks there is a disc in a disc drive).

So you mount disc one, install.  Mount disc two, install.  etc...

That will get the program installed for you.  Its not as hard as it sounds, however you will probably need to do more steps to play the program.

Oh yea, programs that will make a virtual drive and mount are Daemon tools, Power ISO, and Alcohol 120%.  Try Daemon Tools first.  Good Luck
