You'll get better results if you can
render your image to a render target texture at 2x the desired size and
then draw a textured quad at the desired size and use the texturing
hardware to filter the edges of the polygon. However, I have no idea if
you can do any of this in DX7.

Yes, you can. However, I've (recently) found a lot of older hardware
doesn't seem to like DX7 rendering directly to offscreen surfaces very much,
so you _may_ have framerate issues.
