You can't do it with just cables, you'd need a converter box.
VGA's signal is in RBG format, and the RCA (composite) is not.
Does your computer have any other form of video output (some
cards have s-video, hdmi, etc)? Does your TV have any other form
of inputs (besides the cable/antenna coaxial)?
 
I see you got some posts as I typed.

The VGA to (BNC maybe? red/green/blue). These are not what you are looking for.

Now here comes the real problems.

Not all video cards will allow composite video to pass over VGA. because of this making an adapter may or may not be possible.

You will see them for dirt cheap all over the internet, but 90% of the time they will NOT work.

Older cards had a chip that did the conversion to composite/s-video. Component video from VGA may work better(But i do not think your TV has it).

My recommend you goto a computer junkyard and find an old video card that fits your computer.

The red/white plugs are for audio and can come right off the sound card.
 
"how can I make a VGA to rca cable because I can't understand"
you would need a converter for that...

There is no direct 1 to 1 wiring scheme to change VGA into RCA Composite.
HOWEVER...
VGA can go to Component video but only on devices that are specifically designed to allow/accept that type of input.

Pin 1 RED Red video
Pin 2 GREEN Green video
Pin 3 BLUE Blue video

Those 3 can plug into certain projectors and HDTV's with the component RCA inputs.
Although the vast majority can't take a direct input from VGA to RCA component.
The only time I've seen that direct wiring work is for a projector that specifically mentions using a VGA to RCA component cable.

Other than that I'd say you're wasting your time. Spending money is not avoidable for this...
 
I have connected rca cables in the VGA port directly signal to signal and ground to ground the TV shows only Intel mx1333 you know the booting screen but in many small patches and is scrambling contiounsly so I think it does work and yeah I own a hd4350 ati
 
How did you connect signal to signal and ground to ground? What pinout did you use?

Patches of garbled image is not a good sign.

Scan converters are you best option, but they are not cheap most of the time. I remember using them in school[at that time they took much more space and needed software to activate them]).

Some 4xxx card from AMD had s-video out(that converts to composite with ease.) Lets see if that is helpful or not.

EDIT
No luck on that front. Nothing seems to connect the VGA or DVI ports to the S-vid port on the other cards. Some 4350's even had s-video, but I think it may tie back into the gpu it self.
