Yes, I think it was the alpha channel Xirin was having problems with.

Xirin, when you save the TGA, make sure you have a transparent background and then save in 32 bit mode. This image is 24-bit, which is the image itself. The other 8 bits are the alpha-channel (the part that defines what is transparent and what isn't.)

I don't know about other paint programs, but Photoshop will automatically make the alpha channel for you when you have a transparent background and save in 32 bit.
