How do i preview a picture i just took? the preview screen is black when it wasnt before?
Make sure Image Review is set in Custom Settings. See page 90 of the manual: http://www.fixya.com/support/p418-nikon_d50_digital_camera_with_18_55mm/usermanual-D690EED-pdf

PER007 in solution #3 is correct.
I had the same problem with my CoolPix5400 and this resolved the issue.

you cannot "Preview" shots on the LCD screen with the D200. There is no Live View function. Newer models such as D300 and D90 offers such a feature.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM - HAD TO SEND MY CAMERA IN FOR REPAIRS. NIKON FIXED THE PROBLEM AT NO COST AS A CURTESY REPAIR.

It sounds like a stuck shutter. As the camera is less than a year old, Nikon should fix this for you for free under warranty. Contact them.
For others that experience this with cameras that are out of warranty:
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see the following for further info and a simple fix that may help:
