Virtual ISO Mounter gives error on laptop WITH physical DVD

Hi there
Virtual Iso mounter works just fine on Netbook / ultra book with no physical DVD device.
Computer with physical DVD device -- no DVD in the device of course - - message "Problem mounting xxxx.iso" where xxxx is name of the iso.
However the ISO is ACTUALLY mounted and can be read from -- no problem. Just the message is issued incorrectly.
OS - Windows 8 x-64 RTM TechNet, Laptop Sony VAIO.
Cheers

Hi there
just double click on an .ISO file in Windows explorer (Sorry -- now called "File Explorer") or right mouse click on the file name and choose MOUNT.
Very useful facility actually in W8.
@ Mods
This shouldn't be in the "Virtualisation" section as this is now a CORE feature of standard W8 -- I'm not referring to a Virtual machine here.
From Windows Explorer / File Explorer here's what you get now with an .ISO file in STANDARD windows 8 (not a VM) when you Right mouse click on the .iso file name.

That could be it.
Go to default programs and set windows explorer as default for .iso files.

You're welcome - glad it's working for you.
If you rt click an .iso you might find nero is an option under "open with".
