.DMG Failed to Mount

I have a .dmg file that when I try and mount it and it gives me and error saying Failed to Mount with the reason listed as "not recognized". What does this mean and is there a solution to the problem? Thanks.

Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1), HP Pavillion a1630n Athalon X2 4600+ 2GB RAM EVGA GeForce 8800GT

Means no mountable filesystem, the file is damaged, it isn't really a .dmg file, or it lacks the proper association to the DiskImageMounter application. Check the latter by selecting the file then pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section check that the afore mentioned application is shown as the default. If not then locate it in /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.

It is the trial version of Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, downloaded from Adobe...3 times now...third time was the charm. Not sure what the problem was, but thanks for the effort guys.
