I'm trying to load Vista RC1 onto my system after downloading it and

onto a DVD, but for some strange reason, the association for the ISO file
has become Roxio, the program I used to burn the DVD. This is wierd (to
me).
What program do I associate an ISO file with, so that it runs when I
insert
it into the DVD ROM. This wasn't a problem before Vista Beta.
Thanks.
You seem to have a misconception as what to do with the file you downloaded.
Did you get it from Microsoft? There is pretty good information on the
Microsoft download page that tells you just how to burn the DVD so that it
works. I suggest you go and read it so you have a better understanding of
the process. Of course if you got it elsewhere this information will not
likely be present. Also, the file itself "may" be suspect.
Basically, an .iso file is somewhat similar to a zip file. The zip file has
to uncompressed before you can do anything with it's contents. The same goes
for an .iso file. You need to perform a "similar" operation on the .iso file
before you burn it to the DVD. That is why when you double click on the file
it wants to take you to Roxio (which is very capable of doing that which is
required).
