This might be caused by your video drivers being out of date or something like that.
You could try setting your VideoRenderers preference by hand in %APPDATA%/StepMania 5.0/Save/Preferences.ini
Try setting it to "opengl" first, and if that doesn't work, try "d3d".

I'm not really sure what could cause this problem.
