So if you happen to have an ATI Radeon card there seems to be a known issue and there is a way to fix it. Although it requires snooping around the hidden files in your OS.
First make sure you can see hidden files then go to:
C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\BOXEE\userdata
In my case the exact path was
C:\Users\pyrzak\AppData\Roaming\Boxee\userdata
now you need to create a file with the name advancedsettings.xml
In that file you want to put the following text:
<advancedsettings>
<glrectanglehack>yes</glrectanglehack>
</advancedsettings>
Make sure to not use wordpad or some other crummy windows text editor. if you don't know what text editor to use, try crimson editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com/).
Then run boxee... it might work! Or it might not. I'm not an official boxee person just someone who translated a unix fix to windows and it happened to work for me. Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!
