Timer with TMR0

Help me,
i want create a counter in 1 sec with the TMR0 and interrupt, the pic is 16f877a osc 20Mhz.
I have utilized the formule Time = Mhz * periode * (Tmr0-N) * prescaler
Time = (20 * 50 *(256)*64)/1M= 16384*61 =999.424
but it not functional.
Help Me
SOS.
Aiutoooooo

Look here, even if on a different pic than yours:

bye ( se sei italiano ciaooo)

Hy Robert (ciao si sono Italiano )
thank you for answer
but the osc in the example is 4 Mhz,
i use a osc to 20 Mhz.
Help Me.

Code:

Timer1 would be better, but this should get you started.

Thank You
Bruce.

I used Timer2 on a PIC16F628 for 1.5 seconds:

T2CON=%01111010 'prescaler 1:16 POSTSCALER 1:16 ,STOP TIMER2

Then start timer and in interrupt handler:

if PIR1.1=1 then
Count= Count +1
if Count =100 then
high led
endif
T2CON.2=0
PIR1.1=0 'reset flag interrupt
resume
endif

Every interrupt of timer Count is incremented....when is 100 =1,5 sec
It's easy to change to TMR0 or Timer1....and also you can change the number of count
