If you're using the Windows Media Player 11 edition try and roll back to the version 10.

I'm no expert but:-
Is the player communicating at the correct connection speed to the server, if not the server may try to thin the stream.

You can prevent this from happening accidentally by manually specifying the connection speed, by doing the following:

1.
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Performance tab.

2.
In the Connection speed area, click Choose connection speed, and then select the appropriate connection speed.

Might work for you

What kind of monitor/ graphics card are you using?

Watching videos is a function of the Graphics card. Windows doesn't even see videos (thus the black box).

Are you getting any sound?

Have you tried reinstalling your video drivers?
