Hi, i would like to know there is a serial converter to convert 9 pin to 15 pin, as i can't find any on the internet to buy but i can find converter 9 pin to 25 pin.

Are you sure it is a serial port? 15-pin connectors are typically for VGA adapters. What are you using that has a 15-pin connector?

Callandor is correct (as usuall :)

serial ports are 9 or 25 pin (and are always MALE on the PC, or NTE (Network terminal equipment) though I dont see many 25 pin serial lines these days (unless they are doddering old UNIX RS232 connections) - or PIX firewalls

are you trying to hook up an old monitor? Or a new monitor to an older computer? Back in the day, video cards used 9 pin...
