How to connect monitors via hdmi splitter

Hello, I have an HDMI splitter, but the computer (Windows 7) won't recognize that a monitor is connected. What am I missing?

Could be a bad splitter, does it work without the splitter?

Ok. Got it. I'll go through the shenanigans to get through this week, and try the active splitter. Thanks.
