My computer is less than a year old. I have an Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7200S ATA
Device on my Vista computer. My problem is that it recognizes some CDs/DVDs
and not others. I keep getting the message to insert a CD into the drive.
I am trying to run a CD that was burned with pictures on it. The person who
burned it also uses Vista, and can see the pics individually, or in slide
form. Any suggestions?

Your drive may need a firmware update.

Hi,

Yes, a CD/DVD drive lens cleaner disk. It is probably just clogged with dust
or debris and cannot read the disks properly. These disks are commonly found
in most stores that sell writable media for a dollars/pounds/euros/etc.

I have seen this suggestion more times than I'd care to try and count,
but for the LIFE of me I've never seen anyone testify that it works.
