In Windows 10 It is in Settings/Devices/Autoplay/Turn on "Use autoplay for all media and devices"

Dean, If you can't get autorun enabled, don't fret, you don't necessarily have to enable auto-run as once the game is installed, you don't need to load the disc again to play multiplayer (ie. online). Only need the disc to play single player. Load the disc into the drive. Open, windows explorer and along the left side, you should see a list of your drives on your PC and the cd drive will show as the game. Click on the game drive and should open the CD to show contents. You can then go and double click the 'setup.exe' file. This will launch the installer. Just follow the prompts from there. After which, don't forget to install the patches in order. COD4 can be done in the same manner. Good luck.

Thought I was buying a potbelly stove. It was in pieces, but too small. Took it home anyway. Base was broken & a friend recommended welding it with 7018. "You can't weld cast w/that!" Try it. I'm sold, 7018 lo-hi can weld cast iron.

Fun as Hell and quite addictive.

Yes you can 7018 (dry rods from the toaster oven) just need to pre-heat the whole leg and clean the weld area and weld it on a Pizza Stone for Oven to keep the heat in the cast iron to prevent cracking when cools, other weld rods is Ferro-Nickel. great to see preserving history LCB and the taste is real not microwaved an get real meat texture. yumm smoked meat: put a hickory slab under frying pan while cooking on stove top, use a hood that will fit over pan and has damper vents on it, to adjust flavour strength.

What’s not to like? Two beautiful cast iron frying pans, great stove and everyone’s favourite BACON!
