The most important thing to solving your issue is going to be this, what are you using to go from VGA to DVI? If you are just using a little plug adapter it isn't going to work. The problem is that VGA is an analog signal and HDMI is a digital signal so if you are not using an analog to digital signal converter you won't be able to make this work. I would STRONGLY recommend getting an active VGA to HDMI signal converter as this will solve the problem. Take a look at this VGA to HDMI install guide.
