Your only solution is to get a new video card with dual DVI or a DVI and Display Port or HDMI prt. To convert the VGA signal to DVI you will need an active converter that will cost about the same as a video card with worse results. Plus it will only work on one monitor.

the cheapest fix is to swap out if you can the older gpu with a newer gpu with two dvi ports. post up the spec of your pc if the power supply and mb is newish you could drop in a slightly newer 600 card for 40-60. that has two ports. if your mb is older type an only has pci slots there are older video card you can drop in and run one monitor from it.
