Cant get it to work

[HenrikOlsson]

Hmm, I see I've completely missed (or perhaps forgotten) that HIGH 0 valid, you (re)learn something everyday. Still, I'd say it's "better" (not function wise but for readability) to actually say HIGH PORTB.0

Thanks for pointing mo that Alain, let's hope the OP gets this going now!

Im at work right now so dont have access to the entire code. I did make this change to the main routine:

Start:
   PortB=0
   pause 500
   portB= $FF
   pause 500
Goto start

In theory this should toggle all the pins on portB. Unfortunatly, still getting a whole lot of nothing. Im prety sure there is either something wrong with fuse config (will look into the above suggestions when I get home tonight), or maybe its a hardware problem.

I think It's much better ...

Well, I think at this point I have tried everything except brand new out of the tube microcontrollers. There is one factor in play here I didnt think of until just recent: Im using a very old laptop, and windows 98SE. I really dont think this is the problem but I have never had this kind of issue before so maybe it is. It appears to me as if the pic is being flashed correctly because I can flash test data into the EEPROM memory, and it will be read back correctly. It may be time to just break down and buy a better programming solution. For now Im sort of giving up.
