1st off, have u tried renaming it? or just dragging it into windvd or somethin? 2nd off, a bin file is one part (of two) that makes up an iso. download dameon tools and mount the bin file (it's an 'image') then you should be able to see the file inside.. (forgive me if that sounds like a load of b/s - i've just got up lol)

Just adding some to kiddiejon's post.

As he said you have to mount the .bin image inte dameon tools. Dameon is "simulating" a couple of cd-drives. After mounting, then just play the "cd" (mounted image is like a cd) in media player.

... and you'll need a cue file as well (just a few bytes).

Quilly is right. Download CloneCD and it will install a virtual CD drive which you can use to mount BINs. Its really nice to be able to do this instead of constantly having to burn a BIN just to install it. Check it out...

yeh, as quality said, you can mount just bin files with deamon, cue's are needless, even when you go to burn them most burners will work out what to burn. only exeption i can fink of is fireburner :-/

Daemon tools will do the job!
