Burning .iso to CD or DVD?

I thought that Windows 7 had a built-in burner, and all you had to do
was right-click the .iso image and it would run. It doesn't work. I
get nothing.

Works here ok - is your CD/DVD burner working? Is the CD/DVD blank?

When you say you get nothing when you right click, do you mean no
context menu, no "Burn disc image" listing on the context menu, or that
"Burn disc image" doesn't work when you click on it?

Sorry. I should have said "I get a context menu, but there's no "Burn
disc image" listing on it.

Tried that. All it did was tell me that there was no program to "open
the file". I.e., Win7 didn't recognize the extension ".iso".

Why don't you just try to drop the file on a blank DVD to see what Win 7
does with it? DVD isn't a lot of money to blow away.

Make sure you associate it with "iso" files, then all you have to do is
double-click on the file and imgburn will open automatically.

Are you trying to burn the iso file or are you trying to open it to use it??
