    Select a pic OTHER than the correct one and you will all 3FFF in the program memory area, then go back and select the correct PIC, use the drop down menu and deselect the Protection tabs. Now without doing anything else click the WRITE button. The PICKit2 will write 3FFF to the entire program area effectively erasing it. now load and program your chip.
    Recently I bought a clone PICKit2 from SURE Electronics and it works fine except the lousy connector broke so I removed it and installed Std. .1 header pins. WHILE it was broken it mimicked your symptoms.
