Default ISO/ Virtual Drive Questions

After the success of your last lot of help i'm back for more...

I'm now trying to play the .iso file that I have downloaded, I dont have any spare cd's to write the data to so i am going to play it using a virtual drive (microsoft virtual cd rom) but i'm having a few problems setting the drive up.

This is my problem: i've copied the vcdrom.sys file to my system32/drivers folder

Then when I click "driver control" in the virtual cdrom app i get the following error message- "cannot open scm- access denied", that doesnt seem to matter though as i can click ok and get to the next stage.

then I click on "install driver" and then browse to find the vcdrom.sys file i previously copied, but then i get the following error message: "the handle is invalid"

I dont even know what a handle is, let alone whether one is valid or not!

Im using Vista if that makes any difference

Any ideas?

thanks in advance
