Are you dealing with old plaster & lath walls or sheetrock?
Chances are your wire is stapled to the stud around 8 to 12" above or below the box and probably up around the celing and about every 4'. If the wire runs parallel through wall for a while through holes, there probably won't be any other staples except the verticle run. If you use the old wiring to pull new wiring, be sure you have a good splices and tape it up. You will have to pull hard to loosen the staples and then get the splice through it or just let the staple pull on out. Pulling wire through a parallel wall run when the end makes and 90 degree turn to the box, is stapled, and then runs into the box is no easy pull either.
Are your present receptacles polarized with the longer slot for neutral which is needed for most new elec cords?
If not, you can add gfci receptacles to allow a 3 prong grounded polarized plug but you have to use the label that states without ground on the receptacle.
Me, I'd go with new wire even if you have to make a small hole in the wall in places to get it run. There is too much static building up around computers, chairs, floor mats, and floors to not have a good ground.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
