I hope I have the right forum for this.... I apologize in advance if I don't!
I just have a general question. I've had this computer for over 2 years now, and I've never ran a scandisk nor have I formatted (I think that's the right word...) the harddrive. Is this a really vital thing? If I don't do it, will my computer's life be shortened? I've noticed lately it's been running a little slow than usual when it starts up (but I know there are no viruses or spyware on it that is causing this).
Perhaps it's just the computer's age showing, or do you think I should run the things I mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.
