Trouble with images

Hi all I'm just trying out the Game Editor Demo with the hope of making a few games for my GP2x. I have come across a small problem.
I'm trying to load the image below as my test background (there will also be a foreground image).
I can't find out how to stop Game editor from making the image transparent, the image is a non-transparent png I have also tried a bmp image but Game Editor also makes this transparent. Below is what Game Editor outputs when I click "Game Mode"
Thanks for any help you can give me.
