It might not stay in that mode since HDMI is hot plug and has the ability to detect the monitor being removed.if the drivers try to be smart and revert to another mode when the original HDMI monitor is removed it might reset everything. Shut down, replace the cable, and if it boots and stays in that mode it should work. Now if you happen to have another monitor which is HDMI, and has a mode compatible with your VGA monitor, you could boot up and set video to that setting. There are ways of finding what the EDID data should be for given monitor specifications.but if you couldn't find the driver disk it is unlikely you know the specifications needed anyway. An active adapter provides the missing EDID. If not, then only an active adapter will work. Most adapters are passive and there simply isn't any EDID data.if your monitor works with some standard mode which the current video driver defaults to, it will work for that mode (it is a case of good luck). If your video card has no ability to use the old style monitor driver disk, or if you can't find the old monitor driver, you will be limited to an active VGA-to-HDMI adapter.

If the video card driver does not support this, it won't hurt to try.but it also won't fix anything.

Some video drivers may not support the old VGA style driver disk (meaning only EDID is supported).but if they do, this is how you should achieve setting up your VGA monitor ( if you find the monitor at the manufacturer site and it has a driver download, then this is what such a driver is for a monitor). EDID is automatic and allows the video card's driver to query the monitor (i2c protocol and powered by the video card, so even if a monitor is off it can be queried). The old VGA 'driver disk' (monitor driver) wasn't really a driver, it was just a database formatted such that the operating system would know what is attached (monitor driver disks have no executable code other than to help put the data where it belongs). Monitor driver is explained below.ĮDID is a listing of monitor capabilities. Video driver is not the same as monitor driver.
