My VGA / Component cable isn't working?

My computer seems to recognize my external display (Philips 32" 720p HD TV), but the tv is not displaying any picture, and does not seem to recognize my computer. BTW, my computer is on the VGA end and my TV is on the component end. Any help?
Answer:

Bill - VGA to component cables do not work and whoever sold it to you should be arrested for false advertising. Please read the fine print on this link - monoprice.com tells the truth about these cables. They only work with specially configured VGA outputs that are set up for component video out. Most are not. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023503&p_id=2409&seq=1&format=2 A simple cable cannot convert VGA to component video - it is impossible. You need a converter to convert VGA to component video: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/960770/StarTech-com-VGA-to-Component-YPbPr/?cm_mmc=Traffic%20Leader-_-Overture_SMX-_-Miscellaneous-_-960770%20StarTechcom%20VGA%20to%20Component%20Vi

It might be as simple as the output selection on your computer ( look for the display in the functions keys ) and turn your TV to the input you've connected ( such as video 1 ) with the cables.
