    Default Oscillator/Hserout woes

    Need a sanity check here!

    I've been runing on an external 20Mhz resonator ....HSEROUT worked fine.

    now want to go with the PIC's 4Mhz internal oscillator (to free up a couple of pins)...but no matter what I do, HSEROUT is garbage.

    I'm using MPASM... the16F690inc file has a couple of options that I'm not clear about...

    _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT
    _INTOSC

    ...could someone tell me why two options that look similar? (I've tried both....but sticking with _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT )

    Anyway, back to my problem....

    Code:
    @ __CONFIG _FCMEN_OFF & _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _CP_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _BOR_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF
    
    DEFINE  OSC 4          ' set Oscillator at 4Mhz.
    
    DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
    DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 20h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 0
    DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically
    DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25  ' 9600 Baud @ 4MHz, 0.16%
    SPBRGH = 0
    BAUDCTL.3 = 1         ' Enable 16 bit baudrate generator
    
    
    
    Include "modedefs.bas"
    
    ANSELH=0
    ANSEL=0
    CM1CON0 =0
    CM2CON0 =0
    CM2CON1 =0
    adcon1=0
    TRISB.6 = 1
    TRISB.7 = 0
    TRISC=%00000000 ; set all Port C pins as outputs
    rcsta.7=1 'SPEN serial port enable bi
    
    
    loop1: 
    hserout ["hello", 13, 10]
    pause 250
    goto loop1
    end
    Grateful for any input here....I'm going crazy looking at this problem for hours!

    Edit: Just rolled back to the external 20Mhz resonator oscillator - Hserout works just fine - could it be the internal oscillator is out of spec & therefore wrong after being divided down?
