I had the same problem after upgrading to IE8. Please do the following steps:

1) close all your IE windows

2) Right click desktop %26gt; Go to "Properties"

3) On Themes tab, note your selected theme in the dropdown.

4) Select a different theme from dropdown and clcik Apply.

5) Open an IE window adn see if the black color is gone.

6) Change back to your original theme and click Apply.





At this point, the problem would have gone.
