It's probably the old 256 color problem. Go into MSPaint and open up the "black" pictures, and use Save As to change them into a 256 Color Bitmap. Import it through the standard way (Tools - Resource Manager) and it should be fine.
You can probably save it as 256 colors in other editors as well, but I wouldn't know where to do that since I only use MSPaint. If you don't like MSPaint, use your editor's Help menu to figure out how to convert it to 256 colors.
That was it! thanks a bunch! I use Macromedia Fireworks, but I can just as easily edit it in there, and then open it in MS paint and change it into what I need.
