Need Driver for Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension 4600 w/ integrated video

I have been searching for a video driver for Windows 7 with no luck.  The computer I need it for is a Dell Dimension 4600 with integrated video.  When I tried the Dell website, they only show a driver for XP, because I'm assuming that was the only OS the 4600 could run with it's standard hardware.  The RAM has been upgraded to 1.75 GB, so 7 will run on it with no problems, but the only screen resolution that works is 640x480.  I've tried going into the advanced settings, list all modes screen, but when I select a higher resolution, the minimize, maximize and close buttons go black and parts of the screen become blurry.  I have tried two different monitors, so I'm pretty sure I just need a driver.  I just can't find the right one.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!!

Call Dell and ask whether the driver you need exists. If they tell you
they haven't created it, you're out of luck.
