Cannot Use 3rd Monitor

I have recently gotten 2 new monitors to connect to my laptop for a 3 monitor display. However I am having an issue. It will not allow me use my 3rd monitor. I am looking for the best possible fix. I am not 100% what the issue is but I am pretty sure it has to do with the video card and that fact that it does not support 3 monitors.

Computer:
HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC

Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

I currently have one monitor connected via VGA to VGA and the second monitor is HDMI (Computer) to DVI D (Monitor). I can only use one or the other, not both! I am rather frustrated at this point so any assistance, guidance, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
 
I'm 99.99999999999% positive that your laptop doesn't support 3 displays and all it can handle is 2 displays. Even most modern desktop computers can't support 3 displays, for 3 displays you would have to buy something like an external usb video card (I believe you can buy one of these on e-bay for around 50 dollars).
 
Yes, I believe you are correct. It acts as if it will not support 3 monitors only 2... Would you mind linking me or explaining the external USB video card. Do I just plug it all in and it works or will I need software or work around the settings some how?
