I rather doubt that very much, since since Intel has never officially released Windows Vista/7 drivers for 915GM graphics. And Dell doesn't offer any either. But all is not lost, try these drivers from the HP support website. If they don't install automatically, use brute force (at your peril, of course).

operating system not supported ah well nice try anyways lol if worst comes to worst il just install ubuntu , the driver must be out there somewhere tho as I had windows 7 on this laptop before the harddrive broke ?

Intel 915GM definitely works with Windows 7. I had it once installed on my Eee 701 4G, same chipset.

And what's wrong with XP? Faster than Windows 7 or Ubuntu, all the hardware works.
