I would like to Thank those who responded to my query. It was very helpful.
Also, just my opinion but I found "nero" easier to use and more customer
service oriented that "easy cd creator"

> Subject: disc cleaner

> I don't believe my disc cleaner is working. It seems to me that the first
couple times I ran it the progress bar was empty and it didn't take very
long to run. The last couple times that I've tried running it the progress
bar has 3 bars in it and says it is compressing old files. I've let run for
close to an hour and nothing happens. There's no progress in the progress
bar and it still says it's compressing old files. I few months ago I had to
do a system recovery or a application recovery could this have missed it up?
Is there anyway to fix this or replace it with something as simple as this
one? Thank-you ahead of time. [log in to unmask]
