| | Autoplay: It's not working. I already went to the autoplay troubleshooting and FAQ. I followed the command prompt steps and it did NOT work. I did restart, too, by the way. I have my autoplay settings set to install and run software and games. I am trying to download a game I bought and I put it in the drive. I push it in and wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. It does not detect anything, therefore, I cannot install my games. How do I fix this? What do I do? How can I INSTALL my games? |

Make sure that the box is checked at the top (Step 3) and that the service is Enabled and Started. AutoPlay Settings In the mean time, you should be able to right click on your DVD drive and click "Open". Then just click on the "Setup" or "Install" file for the game to install it. Hope this helps, Shawn |
