Question:
Problem trying to install Office XP on brand new laptop
I have a disk with Office XP on it.
I keep inserting the DVD into the drive and all the laptop will do is pull open the contents of the folder, which shows the ISO file. I double-click on the ISO file and it does nothing.
-1- I know the disc works as I've used it before
-2- Aren't ISO files supposed to open/install automatically as soon as the PC reads them?
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

lol
most likely you a) have a pirated copy and b) don't know how to use it :D
hint: iso files are archived files, such as rar and zip files.. use isobuster to open/unpack them.. then install from there
and next time burn the cd correctly :)

most cd burning softwares left you load iso directly or you can get mount it on a virtual drive and install it like that

i'm not a pro!!! ;-( sorry.
so, isobuster looks like it's extracting the .iso file and saving it as .iso.exe -- is this right??
thank you.

Or just stop pirating and go to OpenOffice.org and get a real, free office suite. It'll be easier to use, I promise.
