Hi,
These kinds of questions come up all the time.
Some adapters only go one way. Some go one way, some the other way, some go both ways.
This one only goes VGA to S, but unfortunately it's a very specialized type of VGA too, not ordinary VGA which is output from many PC cards. The card must also support getting S vid out of a VGA connector, which is different than standard VGA. Nigel pointed this out.
The type of adapter i was pointing out earlier however was also not the right type. I misread the statement i apologize for that. That one goes from S to composite to VGA, not VGA to S which is what he wants, but it must be standard VGA not special function VGA unless his card supports that and unfortunately most cards dont.
Some cards that have a VGA output also have a S video output but on a small circular connector not RCA jacks, which would make this much simpler.
This kind of converter is probably going to be an actual converter not just a cable with passive components. It will probably cost must more unless you get lucky.
Something like this (but check over carefully to make sure it has the output you want):
