It appears that Dell doesn't have a win7 driver for this system. You may be out of luck. If you know the video chips make/model you may be able to find the driver on the chip's web site.

FYI lots of info. on your PC @ https://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim4700/sm/index.htm

These are the biggest stumbling blocks for that machine ..

Intel 915G Express (Integrated Video)
ADI 1980 AC97 Audio Codec

Now for Win7 drivers, best way is to use Internet Explorer and go to www.intel.com download the hardware detection plugin and let it show you compatible drievrs.

If none, you can use the Vista drivers in compatibility mode.
