I have encountered this problem too many times. It usually means your object library files are corrupted and your library is gone. If you are lucky there's a .tmp file left wich might work if you rename it to a .obp but usually black windows mean that the file is gone. I advise every bryce user to regularly backup the object, sky, material and other libraries.
