there is no way to know how to open a .dat file unless you know what program created it. Period.

Well, there are 2 ways to do it inexpensively:\n1.) Write a small program that will copy the files you need where they need to be when a zip file is opened (by naming it install.exe).\n2.) Get a freeware installer and script editor from the URL below's links.

.dat files are data ASCII files.  Your photos should not have that file extension.  They should be .jpg.  You can try renaming them, but I'm not certain it will work.\n-MM

There should be a small hole somewhere on your CD ROM. Put something like a paperclip in it and it will open.

Right click on the file, choose Open with... then click Choose Program.  Locate the program that is supposed to open the file on the list that appears, and make sure the box that reads "Always use this program" is checked, then click OK.  \n\nIf you don't know what program is supposed to open the file, you can post a new question with the three letter extension of the file and ask (ie, *.PDF, *.XLS, etc)

If you want some free software that will allow you to view (and run) the files directly from an ISO then I recommend daemon tools.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Daemon-Tools/3000-7970_4-10376891.html\n\n"Daemon Tools is an advanced application for emulation. The daemon tool is a further development of Generic Safedisc emulator and incorporates all its features. Deamon tools allows mounting a virtual CD/DVD drive on which you can run CD and DVD image files."

If you know that a file named *.dat is an *mpg file, just change the extension from .dat to .mpg.\n\nOtherwise, you need to find out the real format of the .dat file, change it to that extension, then use a conversion program.\n\nThere are many conversion programs at:\n\nhttp://www.imtoo.com

I would need to know what kind of file it is. Usually if your computer can't open it, it is because it is either an incompatible file, or  the program that created the file isn't on your computer.

do a search for the items\n\nclick Start - Search - then type in \nwordpad.exe\ncalculator.exe\nPaint.exe\ndo each of these searches separately\nonce it locates the file - find the folder it's in \n\n(example C:/Program Files/WindowsNT/Accessories)\nso then you open - My Computer - then double click each folder as you open them up \n- C: drive - Program Files folder - WindowsNT - Accessories)\n\nonce you find them in the folder - drag and drop the icon in to your accessories section in the - Start - All programs - Accessories section (or where ever you had it in before)
