Maybe it's an "overlay" problem. Try this if you're using XP.
Open WMP. Click "Tools / Options / Performance / Advanced.
Uncheck "Use overlays".
Overlays also keep one from doing frame grabs. When you copy to clipboard 
you end up with black square.
I've seen this setting NOT STICK in WMP.
And... I don't see this setting using WMP in Vista. Looks like my Vista 
WMP11 does not use overlays.
 (& no advanced menu button)
