Where do you have the file stored? Another Mac? Somewhere else?

You should be able to mount it just by double-clicking it. Doesn't that work?

I wasnt aware that i could do that so I shall go try it.........but when you say MOUNT it, does that mean it will install like any other program would or will i be doing this everytme I wish to use it?

Mounting it means it's just like inserting the physical DVD. Once you've finished with it, you unmount (eject) it.

Just remember to actually install the program not just run it from the image. Either run the installer or drag the program to your applications folder.

Ok, got it. Now I understand the meaning of "mounting it" and will take your advice when I do this, in about 30-40 minutes......

thank you VERY much for ALL of your help!!!!!
