Ok, I dont know WHAT in the world is going wrong here. I can not even get so much as a simple blink to happen. Here is the code:

Code:
DEFINE OSC 8                                    ' 8 Mhz Oscillation
OSCCON = $70                                    ' Oscilator Config reg.

start:
    High 0
    pause 1000
    low 0
    pause 1000
goto start
Compiles fine. I am using picbasic 2.60, Microcode Studio 3.0.0.5, and IC_prog 1.06B.

1. Compile the program, get a hex file
2. Load up the hex file in IC-Prog. Im using 16F818 or 16F819. I have tried like 10 chips and none will work and I doubt they are ALL bad.
3. Selecting IntRC for oscilator in ICPROG
4. Config is as follows:
- WDT = true
- PWRT = true
- MCLR = True
- BODEN = True
- LVP = False
- CPD = False
- Debugger = False
- CCPMX = True

I program it, it verifies.. so far so good..

yet when I plug it up to the most basic circuit, I get NOTHING. Its like the chip is just not doing anything at all. Ive even included power indicator LED's to make sure it is getting power etc. What in the world am I missing here? Im sure its something so incredibly simple I just cant see it... (We've all been there Im sure)
