@Peter Blaise while you are correct about Calibre 4 being released while Windows 7 was still supported, since then, the version of QTwebkit used in Calibre 4.10 has changed to a newer version that brings it's own issues. Where Calibre 4 worked, Calibre 4.10+ may not as we've seen from some posts.

If a computer running Windows 7 doesn't run Windows 7 Calibre 4, then the only thing one can try is to buy a current video card that has a Windows 7 driver and hope it works. If it still doesn't work, then the next step is to upgrade to Windows 10.
