Windows doesn't know what your current video card is so it gave it some generic "I can't do 3D" drivers but it'd just let you see the screen at least.

Card name: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Manufacturer: (Standard display types)
Chip type: Intel(r)915G/915GV/910GL Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS

The chip type tells you its an integrated Intel 915 video card. Intel does not provide drivers for that very old integrated card for Windows 7. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18576&ProdId=1764&lang=eng

You're not going to get very far with this video card. Upgrading it may be your best bet (if you have a PCI Express slot) but you're pretty low on memory for Windows 7 as well.

Windows XP would at least get the computer to run World of Warcraft but then the video card isn't something we support, either :)

Intel 4 series and higher are the ones we support. The 965s and lower aren't.

It looks to be a Dell system. Computers of that age tend to come with the Dell Operating System Restore CD. You don't have one of those still?
