Windows 7 not detecting second monitor?

I have an Emachines E625 with Windows 7 basic and I have a 15 Lenovo LCD Monitor connected through a VGA port.

The monitor works fine. Both the laptop and the monitor share the same screen once I press Fn+F5 which is to switch monitors

The thing is that I want to activate the multi screen mode but the laptop only detects one monitor instead of two.

any advice?
