Cannot see most Particles and all 3D Spheres

Hi
I downloaded the Demo version of Torque 2d v 1.74 and installed it to try it out.
Following the tutorial, I added a cloud but when I wanted to add the Rain Particle, most of the particle boxes were empty except the newEffect, wormhole, ggLogo and teleporter.
Anyway I added the RAIN particle and mounted it as per the tutorial, but on running the scene I only see the cloud and not the rain. Same with all the others except the 4 mentioned above.
Also cannot see anything in the 3D Spheres.
What is the problem here? I am running it under XP fully updated and a GT8600 graphics card but can see no particles.
I need to know if this system will work for me before buying the full version.
Any ideas anyone?

A pity they have not fixed this in the Demo.

There is a file (I can't remember the link) called "newParticles.zip" on TDN (search for it). You need to download and extract this into your particleArt directory, overwriting everything there. Then when you use the particleArt resource, everything works properly.A pity they have not fixed this in the Demo.
