Whoops! I didn't read the thread title, which said video drivers. Apparently those aren't on the emachines site.
Ok reading the specs it says the graphics card is GeForce MX. I'm a bit perplexed, because I can't tell if it's a GeForce4 MX, a GeForce2 MX, or something else. Many nVidia cards will show the model number at boot time (right before the memory test screen). If you could read that you could figure out the model. Then go to nvidia.com and click on support, then click on download drivers. If it's a geforce4 MX, for product type choose geforce and for product series pick geforce4 mx (and obviously pick your OS and language). If it's a geforce2 mx, for product type pick legacy then pick geforce2.
