What version do you have? In 7, under the help menu, there is a command called Export Transparent Image that will walk you through it. The name might be different on a PC (I'm guessing something with the word "wizard" in it).

Is the background a solid color without much variation? If so you can use the PAINT BUCKET TOOL select your foreground color and just click on the background. I'll post the other way I do it in the reply.
Here's an example.

Ok, now I have a white background, but how do you make it clear? I think I can only learn by screenshots, lol, I tried to follow the directions, and they don't make sense.
I do it differently I use the magic wand mostly, and then shift to the quick mask mode and use the brushes to correct whatever I see wrong. With the magic wand if you select too much (like around the edges where it shouldnt overlap, you can choose select---inverse and then use the wand on the object to correct it. Also if you click and change the layer to layer 0, instead of leaving it as a background layer, you dont have to use the eraser to tak out the background, you can just hit delete when it is selected
It takes a bit of practice, but makes things look So much better!~
