NOW THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE A CONNECTOR DVI-D TO VGA.

Maybe there's a problem with the adapter, have you tried using a different one?

What exact model is your display?

You should be able to use a DVI-A to VGA adapter or cable.

It's pretty rare to find a DVI-D to VGA adapter. Are you sure it's not already DVI-A to VGA?

Which one of these does the DVI-plug on your adapter look like?

MY MONITOR CONNECTION IS VGA

MY GRAPHICS CARD CONNECTOR IS DVI-I (DUAL LINK)

AND I HAVE A DVI-D TO VGA CONNECTOR.

Please don't shout - turn off caps lock.

Can you post an image of this DVI-D to VGA connector? It's very very uncommon for this to be used.
