Hello all,

I have PBP 2.45. I am unable to program the PIC12F683. I get the error:

"Device does not match selected device."
  1. I'm using the old serial programmer.
  2. The programmer programs other PICs ok.
  3. The ZIF socket is plugged in correctly.
  4. The PIC is in the socket correctly.
  5. The power to the programmer is good.
  6. The cable is plugged in.

I found the patch "Software patch for PICBASIC PRO™ version 2.45" which is supposed to fix errors when compiling for PIC12F683, 16F684, 16F688, 16F716, 16F737, 16F747, 16F767, 16F777, 16F87, 16F88 " but it will not install. I've never tried to patch anything before.

Any ideas?
