Sorry, did not provide a lot of information.
Thank you for such a fast reply.
I'm sorry I did not include all the information required to make a proper assesment. So with this in mind here I go again:
I'm using a PIC development board that provides all necessary connections. I.E. MCLR tied to +5 volts via a series resistor, 4 mhz crystal prewired with proper caps and LED's cathode tied to RC0 whilst the anode is connected to a series resistor tied to 5 volts. All voltages are prewired and supplied via a 12 volts transformer and stepped down with a 7805 voltage regulator. If I run a sample program that is supplied with the development board the PIC IC and the peripherals all work properly. My guess, as per your suggestion, is that my problem is in the "config fuses" portion of the program. So my next course of action would be to read up on this topic and see how to configure this requirement. However, if it is not too much trouble, could you point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your time.
