Hi,

When I watched any movies on my PC using Media Player Classic, I saw a thin green line at the bottom

I've never seen this line before

Hi, this will get moved to the appropriate forum, but what decoder & output renderer combination are you using? What video card is being used?

Hi check,

My GPU is Intel Extreme Graphics 2 onboard chipset I865G, driver is from Intel website. It play games, watch DVD very well.
I'm pretty sure that's not a problem of my hardware becase I've seen that problem before.
I don't remember what I did, maybe it conflict with other softwares.
I tried to watch movies in AVI, DivX decoder 6.2.2 and MP4, CoreCodec CoreAvc x264 decoder 1.1 (newest version), in both cases I see that thin line :(
But when I used Windows Media Player, decoders are the same above, and seem everything is fine
Maybe is it a problem of Media Player Classic? or decoder DivX 6.2.2?

Well, is this with all videos? If your video is not mod16 resolution all sorts of funny stuff can happen. Also try changing the output renderer:
o In MPC: options -> playback -> output -> directshow video.
Try overlay and the various VMR modes - VMR7 is better if you get a choice. Overlay is usually a better choice, but if it's problematic VMR can be used. The problem with VMR is that it's slower, and there can be image quality issues with some configurations.
