what you should do is head to the nearest shop that sells the cables and buy both (plus a converter if you need it for the dvi to work). When you get them back home unpackage them very carefull and keep all the packaging and extras etc. Try both the new vga and both the new converters out. If none of it works, then return everything for a full refund (as long as you havent ruined the packaging-check in the shop you can open it without ruining it). If you one combination works then return the rest.

Ive had this issue when the cable hasnt been plugged it properly before, which means normally the cable is broken or a port isnt functioning properly. Could also have been if you did a driver wipe sometime though that is unlikely and normally windows fixes it (though i wouldnt say its reliable).

Hope i have helped in some way.

Like i said above, buy both and then just return the stuff you dont use. Though you may need a converter for the vga to dvi as well if you dont already have dvi ports on both the graphics card and monitor.

i would recommend also trying a new vga to hdmi converter as it could be that, and there is no point having to do another trip to the shop if you dont have to.

Remember, more connectors means more to go wrong.
