use virtual cd rom
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/mi...c-overview.htm

download MagicDisk its a freeware, then mount the iso in its virtual drive , then u will be able to browse/auto play as same as u were running a cd in ur cd player.

Thanx.
if u have WinRAR (which can also b used 4 compressing files, just like winzip, ek teer se do nishana ), use it 2 extract d files to a suitable location
once it has been take outta d iso file u can do watever u wan 2 do 2 get d game runnin [paly it directly, run installation]

alternately if u wan 2 burn d game on a CD u can do so directly from d ISO LIKE THIS

[assumin u have NERO]

Magic disk lets u browse & copy the content to another "real folder", so no need to extract using winzip/winrar as it will take additional time to do so.

Mount magicdisk & its instant play or browse is faster than extraction.

Slugger the difference is in the time only, from virtual disk it copies in real time to a real folder.

Try a 4gb iso file & see the time difference in extraction v/s copying.
