Tip: If you know of another program that can open your MDF file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed. Wrong Version of IsoBuster is InstalledIn some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Alcohol 120% Disk Image File Format file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version IsoBuster (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize. Other Causes of MDF File Opening ProblemsAlthough you might already have IsoBuster or another MDF-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Alcohol 120% Disk Image File Format files.
If you are still having problems opening MDF files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Occasionally you might experience a flawed software installation, which may be due to a problem encountered during the install process. This can prevent your operating system from associating your MDF file with the right software application, affecting what is known as 'file extension associations'.Sometimes, simply reinstalling IsoBuster will solve your problem, properly associating your MDF with IsoBuster. Other times, poor software programming on behalf of the software developer can cause problems with file associations, and you may need to contact the developer for further assistance. If all other steps fail, and you are still experiencing problems opening MDF files, it might be due to a lack of available system resources. Some versions of MDF files can require substantial resources (eg. Memory/RAM, processing power) to be properly opened by your computer.
This is quite common if your computer hardware is older, and you are using a much newer operating system.This issue can occur when your computer is having a hard time keeping up because the operating system (and other services running in the background) might be consuming too many resources for your MDF file to open. Try closing all applications on your PC before attempting to open your Alcohol 120% Disk Image File Format.

Freeing up all of the available resources on your computer provides the best environment for attempting to open your MDF file. If you've tried all of the steps above, and your MDF file still won't open, you might be due for a hardware upgrade.
Click 'Mount' tab on WinMount main window, click 'Mount file' on the toolbar, select an MDF file. Or Click 'File - Mount CD/DVD ROM- Mount MDF image' on mount window, select an MDF file. Or right-click on mount window, select 'Mount CD/DVD ROM-Mount MDF image', select an MDF file.

In most cases, even if you have older hardware, processing power is still more than adequate for most user's applications (unless you do a lot of CPU resource-intensive work such as 3D rendering, financial / scientific modeling, or intensive multimedia work). Therefore, it's likely that your computer is lacking the necessary amount of memory (more commonly referred to as 'RAM', or random access memory) to complete the file opening task.Try upgrading your memory to see if that helps you open your MDF file. These days, memory upgrades are quite affordable and very easy for even the casual computer user to install in their PC. As a bonus, you'll probably see a nice performance bump in other tasks carried out on your computer.
