    OK then,the suggestion I made before was how to start it.

    To have the PIC control it have a PIN with a pull down resistor that is connected to the enable pin of the regulator. Said PIN will always be HIGH until the program makes it low for what ever reason you code it for.

    mackrackit,

    Yeah, but I don't want to start the circuit with a pushbutton. I have already designed my circuit and it does not use a pushbutton to start it. It uses a slide switch and I want to keep it like that for some other design reasons. Anyways, I will keep your idea in mind for future projects.
