I think the machine that you are referring to is the elliptical trainer. You might want to check out your form and the resistance you are using on the elliptical trainer because usually it is one of the better workouts for people with bad knees. These machines are considered low impact and I like to use them at the gym as I have had knee problems in the past.
Other than the elliptical trainer I think that your pickings are slim in most gyms. You can use the rower ot the treadmill with bad knees but that's about it. Swimming is a great exercise if you have access to a pool at your gym. Dance classes can be an option since most good instructors will show you how to modify a movement if you have bad knees.
