I have been reading a lot of posts you have made over the years on this issue Melanie, and I am very happy to hear from you in particular. You seem to be well versed in the changes that have been made to this chip over the years. Is it worth using?, or would the 16F87/88 be better? NANO and 16-pins I/O are my only requirements on this......and also, I am going to be using a Timer that will require me to use MPASM. This section will be added to the program IF I get this chip running properly (IF being key word here!).

As you can see, I am trying to preserve power and was hoping to get 31.25kHz on this project internally. But due to problems at this point, I can go higher on the OSC to get this thing going in the right direction if need be.

I removed the "Define OSC 3" statement, as well as the commands as you suggested. No Luck.

So in order to move forward, what would be the best settings on this chip to get the LED's (pin 10 & 17) to blink the LED? 1MHz?

Note: What is the FOSC0:FOSC2 needing to be set to 100 all about? I saw this somewhere and don't understand this area.
