    Drivers on CDs are almost Always out of date. Just check every so often. It's good to update drivers.

    It's probably because the VGA is set up as the primary port. Right click on your desktop and go to properties. Then click on the settings tab. See where it says display and it has a drop down thing? Well you can select the second display(the DVI port) and make that one your primary if you want.

    VGA to DVI adapters are typically only used when you only have DVI ports on the graphics card and want to connect a VGA monitor, not the other way round. It might work both ways but I've never tested that.
