you need a mic pre, and addapters to convert it to the "stereo-mini" plug on your sound card. Talk to the boys at Radio Shack where you got the mic. I'm sure they will point you to the right parts.

Continuing from my last message... Here are two links you may want to try which explain what's involved in adapting a pro-style microphone (XLR or 1/4" plug)to a computer sound card's mic inputs.

http://www.shure.com/support/technotes/app-soundcard.html

Keep in mind that on many (particularly the cheap ones) sound cards the mic inputs aren't exactly high-fidelity and most often of a telephone grade of sound quality. That's why I mentioned in my earlier posting the possible solution of using an external microphone / DJ mixer and using the (usually cleaner sounding) sound card's audio input instead.
