This is sort of a long shot, but do you have your Windows display set to 8-bit color (256 colors)? What is the exact nature of the black rectangle? Is a regular Windows window (about 900x700), but its contents are black?
I noticed that this 3.0 image is set to 16-bit color by default, and wondered if that would cause a problem for people with their OS set to 8-bit color. (It works fine this way on my Mac at home, though. Also, I think having the image set to 16-bit color by default is a good idea, if it doesn't cause this kind of problem for anyone.)
