white line surrounding character and objects- [SOLVED]

[gamedesignNewber]

so the images i am uploading are PCX files.
for some reason my character has a white line around him.. this is not apparent in the actual image i made of him..
this same thing happens for my objects
the resolution is 640x480 if its of any importance
could someone explain to me why this is and how i can get rid of it?
is it simply because i am testing the game?
anyways.
any feedback/assistance is greaty appreciated.

If you zoom in on the picture or object you will see white around it .
I sometimes zoom in and use the Eraser in PSP and remove all the white left over .

It could be anti-aliasing, with what program did you draw the character?
