Black line around transparent GIF

[Carusoswi-2]

I am working in GIMP 2.6

I am able to create a transparent gif but when viewing the gif file a black
line shows up around the perimeter of the gif which defeats the purpose of
having it transparent in the first place.

The line shows up around the boundry fo the gif file no matter what canvas
size i make it.

I am sure this is a noob problem and any help will be appreciated.

How are you viewing the GIF? Does the outline appear when you use  
GIMP's "Filters->Animation->Playback"?

I forgot to mention I was trying to embed the gif file in a video using
Windows Movie Maker.
