As you can see its a mode1 so I believe that means it is a CD-ROM file. However when i try to run either of the files a VLC box will pop up and attempt, then fail, to play them.
I tried making an .ISO image of both of them (both in the same image) and mount that, however a window opens with the 2 seperate files inside, both with VLC logos, and i may as well not have bothered making an image file and mounting it.
I am wondering if the .cue file needs changing or i need some sort of install wizard to 'open this file with' so VLC doesnt keep trying to play them when i ask them to run.
When i make an image do both files need to be there or just the .bin or .cue? Which file do i run to initiate an install?
I just tried downloading the basic/free version of daemon tools to try it out but the Ad program that you have to download with it wouldnt install, even after i reassured my virus protection that it was okay.
Anyway do you mean turn the .cue into an iso and mount it or mount it directly as .cue? the software im using, PowerISO, doesnt give me the option to mount either the .cue or .bin without converting it to .iso. Which seems a little odd to me because it has the option to make .bin images.
What I really want is a way to get VLC to leave the files alone and go from there.
I believe DaemonTools is packaged with adware. I remember though that when you install it just don't install the toolbar, I think you only need the core files/desktop shortcut. If you don't install the toolbar you should be fine.
