42" will more likely to use Metric M6 screws (canbe M5 but not likely), the length of the screws will depend on the thickness of the mounting plates. When you buy wall mounting kit, it will come with mounting screws. You can get Metric screw from HD or Lowe's for about 50 cents each.
I get my wall mounts from Costco and they come with a bag of Metric screws fro mounting.

SOURCE: wall mount hardware

The bolt size you need is: M8-1.25 X 20.  20 is the length that I used and it works well.  You could also use 25 (which is a little longer) if you would like.

 

It took about 5 trips to Home Depot and Lowe's and a few hours searching the web before we got it right.

How do I install a tv on my wall

First of all find out what size mount is on the TV. On the back of the TV you should see 4 screw holes to take the bolts of the stand. You can measure the space between the holes. Then you can search for a mount that will take that size. If the TV is big you will need a very strong wall mount.
When you get the mount it should have instructions for mounting it. But make certain the wall you are fixing it to can take the weight and is stable. Fix the mount to the wall, make certain that you use the correct screws and plugs for the screws. You should be able to tell if the mount is secure enough. If you have any doubts, get somebody in to do it. The mount will come with the correct fixing screws for the TV. You will need two people at least to fix a smaller TV to the wall and two people to hold a big TV while a third screws the mount to the TV.

Can't find screw size to fit back of my 42in Toshiba Regza. I want to mount on wall. Screws that came with the 42in wall mount don't fit it. It's not a 5/16, 6mm, 8mm fine thread or course thread

M8 - according to a document I found online for a Toshiba mounting bracket kit for their LCD TVs the bolt size is M8. It should be easily available in a large hardware store or place that sells large flat screens.
Make sure you hand tighten it into the mounting hole before attaching any brackets, to judge the proper depth for tightening. Over-tightening with a long bolt could damage the TV.

I have a wall mount installed already but dont know how to attach the TV - model LA32R71B to it, should I have some bolts or nuts as there are 4 bolt holes in the back of the TV but I dont know the thread...

The wall mounting kit should come with all kind of screws to attach the mounting barckets to the back of the TV. Most TV uses metric M5 or M6 screws for the mounting holes on the back of TV, you should be able to get them at HD or LOWE for about 35 cents each.
My kits come with a bunch of Metric screws. Do you have the instruction sheet of the mounting kit?

No screws for wall mounting 42 inch tv

any hardware store will have them bring your tv manual with you it will tell you the spec on the screw to connect to the 4 pre existing nuts on the back of the tv as far as from the mount to wall it will be a standard lag bolt small enough to fit threw the hole and long enough to go threw the drywall and about an inch and a half of the studd 2" to 2 1/2" inch lag bolt will work
