Welcome to TSG.
The nVidia 6100 is integrated graphics, built into the motherboard.
You have to get the drivers from the emachines website.
I looked for you, but couldn't find the model you listed.
Are you sure of the model number?

In your first post you said v3021, but I can't find e3021 drivers on the site either. That's bad support for a 2-year old computer.
Did the computer come with a driver disk or a restore disk? That may be the answer.
Also, many newer computers have a separate partition on the hard drive that holds these things. For instance some don't come with a restore disk, but there's a program on the other partition that will make one.
Good luck to you.
