Most games you download via torrent will be split into "archives." You'll need WinRAR or 7Zip (I think 7Zip is far better, personally) to extract the .iso from the archive. From there you can either burn the .iso to a disk and install the game that way, or you can mount the .iso to a virtual DVD drive with Daemon tools.
After that, install the game and apply the hack as directed by the info file that should come along with the archive files. Sometimes the info file is archived along with the .iso.

Either that, or the ISO file type was already associated with Daemon Tools, and double clicking the ISO mounted it. Autoplay could've taken it from there. Just an assumption though.

It was an .exe file so I'm guessing it just had its own player built in or something. Very efficient though.

I downloaded Daemon Tools Lite and 7zip file manager, but I need someone to hold my hand through extracting the .iso, because I've never done anything like this before and am not very computer savvy.

I'm about to go to bed, but before I do I want to make sure everything's in working order.
I mount the file into Daemon tools and it installs onto my computer ect.
I click on the icon, it pauses for a moment, and I get this message:
"Original disc could not be found or authenticated."
So, am I screwed, or what?

instructions are:
#
~ Unpack ████
#
███▓ ~ Burn or mount ████
#
███▓ ~ Close autorun, run install.exe from the ViTALiTY folder ████
#
███▓ ~ Select a directory to extract the original installer ████
#
███▓ ~ Run dxsetup & gfwlivesetupe in <gamedir>\Install ████
#
███▓ ~ Copy the crack from the ViTALiTY folder ████
#
███▓ ~ Run xlive_start to start the game ████
#
█▀▀▓ ~ Create an xLive offline account if asked ████
#
▄░░▄ ~ Die like the rest
but when i try to run the instal.exe, it says Windows can not access the specified device, path, or file.You may not have the appropriate permission to access the file. and avg says its a trojan, but that can happen sometimes right?

As for the other problem, right-click > Run As > Administrator. Or maybe it was just right-click > Run As Administrator?
If you continue to have problems, right click on the file, go to properties, go to the compatibility tab, and check the box that says "run with administrative privileges".

I've not got a clue what your problem is. Maybe you need to download the gamespy engine beforehand? /shrug
