If you are using the viewer and not the server, the same thing happened on ten new Windows 7 laptops. No matter what setting I changed the user's screen would turn black when I launched the viewer.

I logged into the laptop and changed the background to the windows default background and then it worked. I then changed it back to the theme that came with the machine and restarted and it still worked.

Once you log on the new local machine and change the background to something new it appears to fix the problem.
