THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP BOSS. I NOTICED ON MY SCREEN RESOLUTION OPTIONS THERE WASNT ANY MULTIPE SCREEN OPTIONS OR EXTEND. ONLY ONE SCREEN WAS DETECTED AND IDENTIFIED.I SEE HOW THE SCREENS MIRROR EACH OTHER, BUT I NEED DUAL MONITOR WORKSPACE.I WANT TO IDENTIFY SCREEN#1 AND IDENTIFY SCREEN#2. DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD A VIDEO DRIVER FOR (HP DESKTOP P2-1033wb.)lcd monitor
 
If you're using a simple "Y" splitter then you can only display the same thing on both monitors. The fact that you're not seeing multiple monitors detected pretty much ices it. You need a video adapter with multiple connectors, each monitor connected to it's own feed.

As others have already said, the use of a "vga screen splitter adapter" is not going to allow for an extended desktop - it will only mirror the monitors and you will end up with duplicate displays of a single workspace. You will need to either use two different video ports (DVI & VGA) or you can add a second or third monitor using a USB to vga adapter or something similar.

There is no "driver" which will be able to fix your issue.
