under device manager under cd-rom drives, click your LG cd-rom and under settings make sure auto insert notification is enabled, this will ensure autorun works.
 
as for shortened file names make sure you are not using an ms-dos driver for your cd-rom, check config.sys for any loading of cd-rom drives.
