You need to back it up and check the VGA adapter before buying a new one. I recommend just buying a new monitor, such as this one. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-R240HY-bidx-23-8-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B0148NNKTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488321927&sr=8-1&keywords=r240hy
i actually found my answer on my question online...i think i have to buy an Active adapter cause my graphic card does not have an analog output..i probably should have seen this before i bought eeeeverything else. . anyway thanks for the suggestion on the monitor

Yes, you've got it right.
DVI-D output is digital only, whereas VGA is analog only. The two are incompatible.
You need an "active" adapter, it will convert the digital output to analog input.
