Problem with HP w2207h LCD monitor

[WE-DeusEx*2001]

hey guys,

i just got an HP 22" LCD monitor for my computer with HDMI port but i have a probem. it has no DVI cable on the back just VGA and HDMI, now my video card doesnt have an HDMI port its an ATI 9800Pro. so i purchased a HDMI to DVI port but now the problem is that the monitor doesnt recognize the DVI or HDMI and it switches back to VGA. its weird because when i first start my computer it does say HDMI active but then when in windows it just shuts down...i dont get it. can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

i solved the problem, after talking to a couple HP people who didnt know what they were talking about, even in online chat customer service. Best buy people had no clue what i was talking about so i had a feeling that the little converter cable was the problem. so i purchased a 4ft DVI to HDMI cable and that worked like a charm. im now viewing a digital picture
