Hdmi is digital, cha is analog.
Hdmi-to-vga "adapter" actually needs to be a digital -to-analog converter.
But IIRC, some video cards can send an analog signal if they sense a simple
adapter. ... or something like that... I forgot the details. So, even if
your video card can do that , your hdmi-dvi adapter doesn't create that
condition.
So, you either need a correct direct hdmi-vga adapter (I bought one from
Amazon for $10-17), or you need an hdmi-vga converter, if the video card is
not capable.
Situation with dvi is probably similar.

I hope to by adapter free with the new monitor. I did try putting theDVI to
VGA adapter onto the HDMI to DVI adapter and using the HDMI port for the
VGA monitor - but it did not work. Got a blank screen.
