That model of e-machine has integrated graphics… meaning that the video is built into the motherboard. Out of the box, it only supports a single monitor, but it does have a PCI Express (PCIe x16) slot available. You’ll need to get a video card for that slot… you can probably use it in conjunction with the onboard graphics, but you might get better results by buying a card that supports dual monitor output and disabling the onboard graphics. Buy one of these: http://castle.pricewatch.com/s/search.as… Open your case and insert the card in the slot, but leave your monitor plugged into your regular video card Boot the machine and let windows find the new graphics card Restart the machine after installing the new video card Go into the bios and disable the onboard graphics Turn off the machine and plug your monitors into the new graphics card This should do it.
