Sabrent USB-HRHD (DisplayLink DL-195 Chipset)

Hello,
I purchased this device (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815276031) and it claimed to be compatible with old CRT monitors, so I tried to hook up the HDMI to DVI adapter to a DVI to D-SUB (VGA) adapter, and I just get a standby screen on the monitor, I can confirm the device works using a DVI monitor, but I originally purchased it thinking I could hook up a VGA monitor.

Does anyone have any info on how I can get this working? I contacted Sabrent but they wanted my to call a long distance number and I doubt they can help anyways unless they have some specialized HDMI to D-SUB converter.

So thought I would ask here.
