If that is the extent of the problem you have with the disc, then I suspect that nothing can be done. The dye used in all CD-Rs will deteriorate with time, and the cheaper ones even more so.
I bought a CD-R on eBay recently which had gone that way already when I received it. I spent a whole day trying to recover somnething from the disc with all the CD recovery trialware I could download, but it was completely stuffed. eBay eventually refunded my money after I started a dispute with the seller and he insisted that he'd tested the disc before he'd sent it to me! (However he declined to elaborate when I asked him how he'd tested it.)
Don't worry, we'll get Photogenics 5 from that archive one way or another.
