My computer is starting to slow down alot, and I do not have the money for a registry cleaner as I think that is the problem. My queastion to you computer gurus out there is before I reinstall windows, Is there anyway to find first the exact hardware I have and get the correct drivers for those. I am really in need of your help

If your using a dell go to the drivers and downloads page: http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=gen
Either select your model and or service tag. For more help tell us your model and operating system, note do not post the service tag here.

before you do anything, have you tried running a full up to date virus scan and anti-spyware programs?
you can get a free on-line AV scan from http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/ and you can download the free edition a Ad-Aware 2008.
for cleaning your registry you can try http://www.ccleaner.com
to view your hardware, look in device manager and note what hardware needs specific drivers to download from dell as some of your devices will use windows built-in drivers.
