To: <[email protected]> Anthony, That is the point of my question. Yes, I use optical drives (CD, DVD). I understand them. They have optics inside that can (should) be cleaned. The laser lens, for instance. I clean my optical drives every 6 months (if the stupid "old" CD works!) Turns out that my present "cleaner CD" plays fine in W2K. It plays oddly in XP. Bummer. I know you play Vista/Win7. Fine. I do not. Still wish to "clean" my optical drives. Best, Duncan On 12/29/2010 22:25, Anthony Q. Martin wrote: > ha! 48months = 4 years. That's a long time.
