See it's great to get help from the pros like you guys. You know i am new to this computer stuff. A few years ago i couldn't even program my VCR. But anyway...Just to show you how misinformation gets around. Look at this link on cleaning a CD drive. Look at the 5th picture over where it says "Clean CD Drive"..see what he's holding in his hand, and doing? This is why i asked. There is so much bad info out there. Thanks guys for helping me again. George
