Clean the disc, or clean the drive?  Sometimes cleaning a drive improves
things with some discs, when the drive is apparently working fault free
with other discs (they're probably more readable).  If it's a laptop
drive, where the laser mechanism is accessible, careful hand cleaning is
better than one of those discs with a brush glued to it (they bash into
the lens).

Or you could have some particular discs that are bordering on the edge
of being readable, that work sometimes, but other machines are less
forgiving.  

Some disc and drive combinations are not too compatible, though I
haven't heard that kind of complaint for a while.  I always use the best
discs that I can get, because I hated having to deal with that problem.
Some people just use the cheapest.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
