For the adapter... if my memory serves me right, the issues are from the 65W adapters and not from 90W. I am not so sure if this is still applicable for XPS 1330. Btw, is there anything on the label that says about the release/version of the adapter?

I suggest you contact DELL and tell them about this problem. Best if you still have warranty.

For the distorted screen... download Knoppix or Ubuntu (Google download sites). Download the ISO files and burn the image into a blank CD or DVD using NERO or IMGBURN (freeware) or similar. Pop that CD or DVD media in your CD/DVD drive and boot from it. You may need to change boot order in BIOS settings to make that possible.
