I had a similar issue with Vegas MS 11.0.322 on a 32-bit install of Windows 8. Actually, both the Render As window and the Welcome/Tips window at startup were both black and caused my dual monitor setup to flicker.

It got fixed when I went into the Preferences window (which seemed to show properly) and deselected the “Use Vegas colors” (or something like that) setting, pressed OK. The black windows still were black, so I restarted Vegas, and then both the Welcome window and the Render As window now show their contents.

I had initially tried turning off the dual monitor setup (going to one monitor), but that did not solve the black window problem. I tried this because of the flickering that was happening and had seen such stuff in older dual monitor setups with video editing in the past.

Now it seems to be working. I haven’t tried a render or a DVD/burn project yet on this system, so there may still be more adventures.
