I also had that problem and saw the answer in a thread here. The cure is to go to your media player options and remove the use of overlays. In my wmp it is in the performance tab, then video acceleration advanced button, then untick the use overlays. I hope this helps.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.... especially when the cams go down.
