Have you use SET IMAGE COLORKEY anywhere in your code to non-black?
Is the background a true black rgb(0,0,0)?
Are you using a 'lossy' format like JPG for your images?

I can't help you if you're using dbpro, but if you are using db classic then use:

load image "bitmap.bmp",1
sprite 1,1,1

The second parameter in SPRITE is the backsave state which makes sure it doesn't leave a trail of images as it moves, and the second is the black transparency option (1=on).

In paint there is an Edit Colours option, click that, click add custom colour, and it tells you the RGB. The first colour in Paint is black 000 anyway.
