Why do the "particle" effects have a black or grey background?

It really spoils the presentation and in some of the styles and compositions it makes them practally unusable in my opinion.

For example

composition ~wedding#1,
seasonal ~ new year , christmas tree#2, and christmas tree#3

Transparent backings or an option to remove them altogether would be nice Very Happy

If you have built-in Intel Graphics Card, follow Paul's instruction to upgrade your video card driver at Intel's website.

Thanx Styler.
I just checked that thread.

I'm not too hot on graphics cards and drivers etc,,,,,,,,but i get ATI ...RAGE 128GL ... MAGNUM/XPERT128/X99/XPERT2000
when i check my display properties.
As far as i can tell its only got 32 mb memory.

I take it i need to get something better?

Yes. RAGE is ATI's old model and it does not support addtive blending. The current ATI's brand that replaced RAGE is Radeon. Get a Radeon 9700 or 9800, you will see significant improvment in both the performance and the quality.
