What exactly should I do? A step-by-step guide might help.

Disable acceleration, just like the 20+ other people who have asked about window capturing chrome.

consider this a thank you, if not for your decrepit tone.
well, and the fact it didn't work.
Yet again I record, still a black screen - Preview is in good condition, however.

actually scratch that, it's gone back to the pile of black screen-y sludge it was.

that or it's going to bounce back and fourth like a volley ball on a bikini babe's bloody hands.

If the preview is fine but the video is black, stop relying on windows media player. Its media format support is horrid.
Use VLC to check your recordings.
