Hi everybody, I am currently trying to play in DVI-D on my monitor I currently play on a BenQ GW2450 in VGA. I bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/300834324984?_trksid=p2060778.m... and received it today and it is not working it is saying that there is "No Cable". Did I buy the wrong product or is there something that I am missing?

You've been had. You cant use a simple adapter for vga to dvi-d or vice versa. VGA is analog and DVI-D is digital. You would need an active vga to dvi converter(hard to find since the need is rare). However for what you are doing a hdmi to DVI cable would be the best option since the xbox 360 has HDMI.

^^ Pretty much this. Except that if your monitor can accept a DVI-I connection, you can use a passive VGA to DVI-I connection, which should do the trick. But going HDMI->DVI is a lot less of a headache in all honesty.
