My computer is running slow and bogged down. Its about six years old and I was debating just wiping the hard drive and starting over but, uggh, so much time and lost pics/music. A friend suggested using a registry cleaner to make my pc run faster. Anyone know of a really good one, and if possible, free?

Like the other suggested here http://www.spamfighter.com/SLOW-PCfighter/ is not free but a cheap & reliable registry cleaner
Well you're going to get two answers here.
Most people will tell you to use the free cleaner "CCleaner" which u can get from http://www.ccleaner.com – but this is BAD because it just tries to find as many problems as possible to make itself look good (why else would it be free)?
You need to be careful with the regsitry because it's a crucial part of your system. If you screw up one of the important files inside it, you're going to have BIG problems down the line… so you need to be sure the registry cleaner you use will be as "delicate" as possible with your PC.
The best regsitry cleaner I've used is one called "RegCure". It's very fast at scanning and it speeds up your computer a lot. You can see exactly what it does here: http://www.fastregistryfixes.com/regcure_review.html
I use registry easy for a long time,
it can remove malware, fix dll error,speed up my PC.
i think it can help you.

CCLEANER,, its great, but it may not just be that,,
you want to see a good boost in performance before downloading anything, do this,,
first,, right click on my computer, choose properties , choose the advanced tab then choose performance,, click the 3rd option down that says set for best performance,
second, double click on my computer, on the all drives that are listed under local disks( which are hard drives) right click , then choose properties, at the bottom it should say disk clean up, choose that option and eliminate anything that comes up showing files,,
thirdly,, click on start then choose run , type msconfig, enter, then choose the setup tab, uncheck everything , except your virus software, finish that , then restart
and then after doing all those, and comp restarts, a box will come up saying configuration change, just check off the little box on bottom left that says dont show this again, then the ok button on the box
then at that time, you can download CCLEANER use this link , i put this on all comps i build or repair,,,

you should see a performance boost without spending any money, then if you want to, start with the easiest, adding some ram, and then maybe a second hard drive if you can,, these 2 together will help to increase your virtual memory amount,
