Well the place to start would be with your video settings and drivers.  You need to set to 32bit color in both desktop and launcher.  Also you drivers seem to be outdated.  Find the latest and install them.

funny thing, I got the same bug with entirely new Nvidia drivers, a working setup for Zathras2 and 3.6.12 exes, a fresh pilot... and it turned out to be the setting for "Enable 3D shockwaves" which needs to be turned ON apparently to make the black boxes around the kabooom-effects go away. For me at least, but maybe this helps others aswell

This is related to a buggy effect within TBP itself. 2D version of shockwave used for most ship explosions is in alpha-inclusive format, while not having areas that are supposed to be transparent actually filled with alpha channel (a beginner's mistake). It's an easy fix, but boring to do (since you have to convert all the frames of that effect to, for instance, DXT1).
