After adding the line to enable T1 within the Main loop, Mr. E's program does want I need. Thank you Mr. E!

Main:

wTimer1=0 ' clear Timer1
T1CON = %00000111
pause 1000 ' acquisition time
T1CON = %00000110
lcdout $fe,1, dec wTimer1
pause 100
goto Main

However, the program that uses COUNT does not work! Maybe it's peculiar to the PIC I'm using? I did notice it has something to do with the watchdog timer, but I'm not going to mess with it further right now.

Thank you everyone for the help.
