The BFAQ says:
QuoteMake sure that you haven't used a blocking command in the "Player enters room (before fadein)" event for that room. Remember that this event happens BEFORE the screen fades in.
I don't understand this. Where is the "Player enters room (before fadein)", and how can I remove the blocking command?
We'll need to know which version of AGS you're using. Also, when you say "no background", is the background simply a black screen, or is there nothing displayed at all?
If you're just not seeing a background image but everything else is showing up, you just need to import a background.
Go into your room script and see if there's a blocking command (something like character.Walk() if it's set to block or Display() or something) in the room_Load() function. If not, the other common mistake is importing a black picture as a new background rather than replacing the current background, so make sure you haven't done that, either.

Thanks, it was the second one. Now I know not to make that mistake again! :D
