Transparent icons are not supported by versions of Windows previous to XP. So, the only solution is to upgrade or as Migellito suggested, use Desktop X, with which you'll be able to place animated, trnaparent objects on your desktop. Only downside is a somewhat perceptible lost of performance. The choice is yours.
