Trying to connect computer to tv through proview moniter, what cables are needed

SOURCE: Moniter Vga cable

You need a vga to dvi cable, your local PC shop should be able to help.

SOURCE: I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!!!! PROVIEW 19" MONITER.

Does the led on front of the monitor stay blue or does it become amber ?
If it becomes amber, then you are not getting a signal.
No harm in trying this : You can try to see if it is a contact problem.
With the monitor unplugged.
Use a small paper clip to run in and out of the blue vga plug holes a few times each to make sure they are not plugged or gummed up.
If that doesn't help and you know that your video cord is good, then I am afraid to say that more than likely there is a problem with yor video card.

If it stays blue then the signal is there but the screen isn't fully lighting up, leading to a failing power-inverter board or a bad bulb.

It sounds like your monitor is broken. Try another computer with it and see if you get an output.
Do you see anything while the computer is POSTing? (Starting up, you should see white letters or a splash screen as it goes through it's Power On Self Test.) If so, the resolution of your video card may be set too high for your monitor. If that's the case, as it POSTs hold down F8 (if you have a Windows OS) and start in safe mode. Go into properties for your video card and lower the resolution. If it's an older system, you can boot in VGA mode.
A monitor doesn't need drivers to work. "Drivers" are usually little extras that allow you to control certain aspects of the monitor that are special to that system, but that's all. It doesn't need them to work.
