I have a monitor with a male 15 and a male 9 pin on my computer and i can't find a conecter to adapt them together

I have a generic monitor and a MSI kt3v if that helps any

You need to get a video card, if you don't already have one. That motherboard does not come with on-board video.

You may be confusing the peripheral ports (small serial ports) with a monitor port... The 9-pins you describe are usually used for joysticks and pads for computer gaming (among other things), but never display anything.
