DVI digital over VGA cable

Does anyone know of an adapter that will allow me to run a DVI-D signal
through a VGA cable
(turn a VGA cable into a DVI-D cable)?

Problem is that my computer has a DVI output, and my flat-screen TV in
another room has a DVI input (digital only) but the only wire running
through the walls is a VGA cable.

When I google it I am only finding results for adapters to go from DVI to
VGA.

I did try a standard DVI to VGA adapter on both ends and it didn't work. I
think it is only passing the analog part of the signal so there is nothing
to "convert back" at the digital end.

Thanks

Those convert to DVI-A. The TV is only DVI-D in

How about

and

Sounds like it would convert the DVI-D to analog to send over your VGA
cable and then back to digital at the other end rather than actually
sending the digital signal as-is, though.

Because a VGA cable doesn't have enough individual conductors, you can't do
what you want to do with simple adapters.

Have they come up with improved versions of VGA cables in recent years by any chance?
