Win 7 upgrade advisor states my computer requires graphics adapter that I want to download prior to upgrading from XP to Win7
SOURCE: about upgrade my graphics memory
Your Intel D915GLVG has a integrated PCIExpress built into the board. Your system memory is shared with the built in video card. This board's memory can handel up to 4GB of system memory which up to 512MB can be shared from your system memory. If you wanted to disable the integrated 915GL Express Chipset with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900. You would be left with two PCI slots. Running a PCI video card is slower than a AGP card & two notches down from a PCIExpress card.
So in order for you to acheave what you want your going to have to increase your system memory. If you still have your manual the specifactions for your memory is on Pg. 9.
The link below is a list of supported memory from Intel.

If you no longer have your manual you download it from this link:

Though you can check aound. I can suggest this mamory which will give you 2GB dual matched memory that is within your boards specifications. Listed at this link. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1075233&CatId=1352
You will still have two memory slots free to upgrade to a total of 4Gb at a later date. So please do not disable your current video card. Please use your manual when installing memory. Two Dimms go into certain slots on the D915GLVG board.
Enjoy!

SOURCE: What graphics adapter upgrade do I need to make
Hi.
The graphic adapter is the video card installed inside the laptop, and normally does not get replaced, as this is integrated with the motherboard.
After installing Windows 7 you will need to install all drivers.
I would recommend using Vista on this laptop, since factory drivers for Windows 7 had not been released. You will have to install general drivers not designed for this laptop.
If you want to install Windows 7 here you get the instructions.
I quote the part concerning video adapter drivers:
"Update the Video Driver
You find driver software at Intel Download Center

Hello!
If you want my advise, don´t do that. I see how like windows 7, and I can say that is windows xp sp3, very fast and flexible, and safe, and don´t need so much. Windows 7 looks like windows vista, and I thik that have stil more trouble.

First, shame on Microsoft! Second, many are having the same issue you are now experiencing. What has worked is installing the Vista driver package.
Click on the link below and download the file.
Go to device manager and uninstall the current driver for Soundmax Intergrated Audio soundcard.
Double click on the downloaded program to install your soundcard driver.
If the program has issues installing the driver (due to incompatibility with Windows 7) go back to the device manager and right-click on the Soundmax Integrated Audio soudcard
Select Update driver
When searching for the updated driver, direct the search (or select manual search) to the folder the file created when you double clicked on it (swsetup>Sp36530>i386>Vista)
This should enable your soundcard.
Best of luck!

Did you check with Sony to see if your computer has the capacity to use the Aero interface? Sounds like it doesn't. MIght be the amount of video memory. You should also have at least 2 GB RAM..
Also--you could go to their site and download the latest Win7 drivers.
