A standard CRT television is sub-par for use as a computer monitor. The situation you describe with the Windows Desktop is normal for an MCE computer. The "bent" display shows up here, as well on a standard television.
As for converting S-Video to composite, yes there are adapters that do this. They can be purchased on the web, or probably at most computer shops. Some are bi-directional and others are one-way. If you get the one-way adapter, make sure its for S-Video to Composite and not the other way around.
Here's one site that offers S-Video to Composite adapters.
