A product link would have been more helpful, to allow examining the description, but that adapter might just duplicate the signal to both monitors, instead of allowing the desktop to be stretched across both. However, why can't you just use the DVI output for one monitor and the VGA output for the other?

Just plug the one up to the VGA. There is a slight picture quality drop, but nothing too bad. I ran my monitor on VGA for a year till I finally got a cheap HDMI cable and didn't notice much of a diff.

Or, buy a better video card. Ones with HDMI, DVI, VGA, Displayport, can be had for $30 and up. Considering your card only has 2 ports, I can't imagine it's that high end of a card.
