Thanks,
After purchasing the PicKit3 first and having no sucess programming my pic, I took the suggestions on this forum and bought a PicKit2. I have had no problems with it, and the logic analyzer is an added benefit. Now I see why so many people on the web are unhappy with the PicKit3. However, the Pickit3 does not make a good paper weight and after I read this post I tried your suggestion, I added the V5 for my voltage and it seems to be working fine. Now other than sitting on the edge of my workbench as a conversation piece, the translucent red enclosure seems to catch everyones attention, although it seemed of no use to me since I was never able to get it to do anything but erase. The PicKit2 is now my preferred programmer but I am now able to use my PicKit3. Thank you for sharing this tip.
