I am using a windows 8.1 laptop and I'm trying to play a game I downloaded as an iso file. I was able to mount the iso and fully install the game, however, when I try to play I get an insert cd rom error. The correct cd rom still shows as mounted but it will not play the game. (I have used the iso file to play on my windows 7 desktop with no problems)

Mostly, yes. That's what it is supposed to do. Win 7 or Win 8.
Why that particular ISO isn't working in 8?...No idea.

Do any others work in Win 8?
