You may need to turn on OpenGL support to see the translucent shapes. Try using the menu option 'Setup>User Preferences' , then 'Display - Opengl' option . Make sure that 'Disable_Opengl' is NOT selected. There's also a control for 'transparency levels' in the color dialog menu on the Display tab, try adjusting the percentage of Opaque to see if that helps ?
