Most of the main driver scans currently available are compatible with Windows XP still, and also some of the older versions such as 2003 and 2000, but you may find it very difficult if you are running an even older operating system such as 98.  You can also get free trial software with some driver cleaning websites, and these include:

•    DriverCure – this is one of the leading online driver scan cleaners and offers a complete back up and restore services for your driver lists, just in case you need to roll back any changes.  The free trial scan does not take up much memory, which is ideal for computers that are already running slowly, and will update your system with the latest drivers and clear out any old, unused or corrupted drivers.

•    Driver Detective – another good free scan which also has a driver back up and restore feature, this will help you to clean and update your driver files with the latest installations.

•    Driver Robot – this free scan will update and clean your drivers, and also has an additional feature of ‘offline analysis’, which allows you to export the software to computers and laptops that are not connected to the Internet.
