Does JPG work?
Try using “run with software rendering” in the Start menu. If that works, then it’s a video driver issue.

OpenGL problems.
1) Make sure AE isn’t using OpenGL for “fast previews” or rendering. “Fast previews” is the little lightning bolt icon under the comp window, and rendering is set in prefs I believe.
2) Download the latest drivers for your graphics card from the card manufacturer’s website, or directly from NVIDIA if you have an NVIDIA-based card.

particleIllusion’s blockers are very crude compared to what’s available in AE, so you’re probably better off doing the masking as you did.

When you use pI3 and have a stage size that is larger than what can be rendered in pI3 itself, pIRender is launched.
Make sure your stage size is set to the output size you want, and that you have stage zoom set to 100%. If you have both of those things set correctly, it will work.

It shouldn’t limit you, but download the demo version of 3.0 and give it a try. Without fully-supported OpenGL hardware, it may not work either. The demo is the only way to know.
