Numpty technical help required

Right, apologies if this is a really simple problem, but it's something I've never had to do before and have no idea how to do! I have an ISO image file that I have downloaded and I need to be able to use/view. I've tried using MagicISO, but the trial version only goes up to 300mb per file, and I need 550. I've been told Nero can do it, so I have the trial version of that, but that's where it all goes wrong! I can't figure out how to make Nero do what I want. So I need a step by step guide on how to make the ISO image usable, or how to burn it to a disc so I use it that way. Either is ok, as long as I can read the file.
Thanks for any help that the computer types can give me!

in nero, decline the wizard options and then under the recorder tab at the top select burn image, navigate to and select you image file. click yes/ok a couple of times, voila

I think Winrar will allow you to browse/ explore image files too

Install daemon tools, it gives you up to 4 virtual optical drives which allows you to mount ISO images and use them exactly like a CD. Its a free bit of software.

Install and restart. You will then have a red icon with a lightening bolt in the task bar. Right click on it and tell it you want 1 virtual drive. Then click on mount image and browse to the ISO. It will then load the image into the 'drive' and allow you to explore it in my computer exactly like a normal CD.

same as above, daemon tools is a good bit of software.

was very useful on my old laptop that didn't have a cd drive!
