what about nail polish remover? I don't know if the acetone would hurt it or not?

I second Goo Gone! That stuff is amazing and works on anything. You'll find many uses for it if you buy it. It'll last forever too. Sometimes they have it at Dollar Tree!o

I love Goo Gone! Gets the goo off almost before you get it to the goo... okay, a tad after (but not much!)

Or use Open Office an alternative to Microsoft Office.

WD-40 will take off the residue, not sure if it will harm the CD though.
