Screen goes all black in desktop mode on 0.86b493

When I view files from a playlist in desktop mode (usually musicvids) the screen goes all black when the player changes to the next file except when the current file is mpeg and the next avi. All other combinations cause the screen to turn black. If I open a window so it covers the whole screen after it has gone black and put it back down the picture becomes normal again (until the next file change). Where could the problem be? I'm running WinXP Pro, xvid, ffdshow, DivX 3.11alpha, 4.12, 5.02

I'm having the exact same problem. It goes black and hangs there between videos, and freezes my entire system.

My system doesn't freeze when the screen goes black. Actually the only inconveniency is that I have to open a window and close it to get rid of the blackness.
