TV Monitor size

Hey there
I would like to be able to view my computer on my television at times, but the screen always seems to be a little bit to large. As I move the mouse around the screen, the picture will scroll with it (ex: I cannot see the clock on the taskbar until I move the mouse in that direction). Is there a way to set the tv to display at a size where everything will be visible? I am running an S-video from my Radeon 9800 to my television.

TVs display 640x480 resolution, so in effect, anything larger is getting shoved into that space resulting in the loss of quality.

S-Video is the best way to output a signal from your computer to the TV.
