To put it another way, the adapter is for the output of the PC not the input of a monitor. If you have a Graphics card with DVI-I or DVI-A the VGA signal is already present and the adapter just changes the plug to the right type. On the monitor however it's just a Digital input as others have mentioned and there's no digital signal on the VGA output of the graphics card to "adapt". Incidentally it seems to me the DVI-I connector is sometimes used even when there is no VGA signal and it's actually a DVI-D interface, probably to allow any DVI cable to be plugged in even if it has the extra pins (the digital part will work over either).	dugimodo (138)
