No software is needed. CD and DVD Drives are supported with a generic driver in all versions of Windows from 95 on up, all major Linux distros, and any Mac equipped with a CD drive. Additional features beyond basic drivers are usually available as firmware software, these are available from the specific manufacturer of your CD/DVD drive at their website . Find these under the support /drivers section.

EDIT
If you're talking about a virtual CD/DVD drive for .iso CD/DVD image backups, then try Virtual CloneDrive. Since I cannot give any download links, please search on Google. I think it's a free software because I got it for free at the developer's website.
If you want a professional Commercial program for a virtual CD/DVD drive, then search up Daemon Toolz. Their product is very professionally made.
I hope this helped, and have a nice day :)
I think the name of the company is Elaborate Bytes, they have an array of products , but VCD is still available in a free version.

You want to run a software program on your Windows Vista computer?
First you would need to install the program. Pop the software CD or DVD into the DVD drive and it should automatically start to install itself. If not, double click on the CD or DVD drive shortcut on your desktop and select 'autoplay'. If there is no shortcut to the drive on your desktop, go to 'My Computer' to access the CD or DVD drive. Assuming the program installs properly, it will put a shortcut on your desktop and/or your taskbar. Click this shortcut to launch your software.

If your Macbook Pro has a DVD/CD drive just insert the game CD in the drive and follow the directions.

Of course the game will have to be Mac compatible or it will not run on a Mac.

You downloaded catz 5 and it has all the files you mounted the iso image but it still says you need the disk what are you doing wrong?
You need to burn the download to a DVD because the file is wanting to be read from the disc drive. The iso file won't let you do an install without making a DVD. (See MSDN's ask a question section answer by "Benji"): " There is two ways to install the .ISO file system 1. To burn the .ISO file to any CD/DVD using the CD/DVD burning software like Nero, Roxio etc. then run the CD/DVD to install. or 2. Use a Virtual CD/DVD Drive Software which can be useful to use the .ISO file without burning to the CD/DVD ROM. These are gives a extra Virtual CD/DVD option in which we can place the .ISO file and use as the normal CD we use. Some of the Virtual CD Software like 1. Virtrual CD 2. ISO Buster etc."
