Look at the back where the video card is. It might also have came with a little unit that has all the connections on it and connects to the video card.
If your card does not support it you will want to upgrade your card. However with composite or s-video connections you won't get a good quality picture on your tv. Your best bet is (if you have an lcd tv) to hook it up directly through the RGB connection.

You might want to look into a scan-converter if there is a big difference in resolution. I had a similar problem with a 50" Pioneer Plasma \ hdmi video souce.
