Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around

Might be time for a laser lens cleaning, dust from disks drops on the lens over time, causing read/write issues.

Try one of those CDROM cleaning disks you find in most music stores, or if your adventerous, you could remove and open the drive up to access the laser lens and gentley clean it with cotton swab and alcohol.

Please take notice. Oreo and I will not be available until June of 2012.
Thank you for understanding my absence, it is job and college related, so all is good. If I do not answer your PMs this is the reason why. See you all soon!
Bruce.
