Hi,
I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now but no luck.

I am using 16F627A
At first I was using the internal osc with _INTOSC_OSC_NOCLKOUT and I was using the commented section bellow (Daryl's LCD_AnyPin) and I had DEFINE OSC 8 as any other value gave me a blank LCD.
This setup displayed information well on the LCD but at the bottom of my code I have a PAUSE 5000 which I expected the second line to go blank after 5 seconds however it went blank after about 10 secs.

I then added an 4 MHz external resonator, changed the fuse as bellow and tried different values for OSC but same results.

So I restored my pbppic14.lib to its original value commented the LCD_AnyPin section and added the standard way as bellow but now I am just getting question marks on the LCD.

So I guess I have 2 questions;
1 -Why did I get the wrong timing in my first setup?
2 - Why the standard way for LCD is not working whisle LCD_AnyPin did?

If anyone can make my day, that would be great.

Thanks

Mike
