Ill figure out how to adjust my I/O pins (never done it)
Then let's make the first one easy...
Code:
ANSEL = 0
Whenever you start using a new chip, the first thing you should do is look at the Comparator and Analog-to-Digital sections of the datasheet for the device you are using.

The different varieties of PIC's have many different ways of disabling the Analog functions, so you have to look in the datasheet to know which way to do it on that particular chip.

For the 16F88, the comparators are disabled at Power-Up.
For many other chips, that's not the case.
