DVI-I is Integrated, Analog and Digital. The small little DVI to VGA adapter, that often comes with your video card, will work on that output. That DVI-I to VGA adapter is passive, it just reroutes the pins to a VGA plug. DVI-D is digital only. That same passive DVI to VGA adapter will not work, there is no analog signal. To go from DVI-D to VGA you need an active adapter that actually converts the digital signal to the analog signal. My video card, like most has one of each. A DVI-I and a DVI-D. The DVI to VGA adapter that came with it will only work on the DVI-I port. If I plug it into the DVI-D port I will get a no signal found message on my monitor.
