I have a dell 1735 studio laptop. When I turn it on I have only a black screen. I'am able to do a diagnostic and I am getting an error code 2000-0146, but I can't get past the black screen.

Hello here is some info about your dell:

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/19342733/19736103.aspx#19736103

Error 0146 indicates a failed/failing hard drive or bad drive sector.
Basically, this means your hard drive will need to be replaced.

Even more here:

Here is the home page:

http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/studio-1735

A computer repair shop can help you with recover your data if is not damaged by the bad sectors.

I recomend to change the system to windows 7 (32bit) because the support for vista is out by this year.

Good luck

Press the Fn key while powering on the system, this will launch the PSA diagnostics. See if you get any hardware errors (I suspect you may have a failing hard drive)

My computer is a Dell Studio. I cleaned up the registry and I am still getting this Dell Dock language file has failed to load error? :o(

sounds like it is related to the docking profile. try to delete and re-create the docking profile and if it does not work, you may have to try system restore to a point before this happened, or even reinstall Windows.

0F00:065D is a hard drive read test failure. the hard drive is failing. If purchased in Feb, the system should be under warranty call Dell Tech Support to get a replacement hard drive. (800-624-9896 in USA)
If out of warranty you can get a 2.5 in SATA HDD at Newegg.com for about $60
