That's up to you. The composite port on your computer is useless unless you've installed some sort of video control software. It should already be there if the port was on your computer to start.

You need to find that software and activate it, tell it to display the Video channel on your screen full-screen. Then play your game.

What's the model of your HP? Is this a Media Edition computer?
How long ago did you buy it?
