18F2550 and Blink Led

[CuriousOne]

Tried to follow this method:

http://melabs.com/support/mplab.htm

This time I get: Whitelist: Processor 18F2550 disabled in this version of PBP.
To obtain additional device support, visit melabs.com.*

Edition is student edition and 18F2550 is definitely included.

Restarted the PC, and now compile trough MPLAB works fine, but it is not handy to do so.

Figured out. Access restriction rules were causing the problems. Disabled UAC and it now works just fine!

No blinky what am I doing wrong? The below config come from meconfig.exe.

The oscillator block on the USB equipped devices are a bit complicated.
It looks to me as if you're trying to run off of the internal oscillator at 8MHz (judging by OSCCON setting INTOSC to 8MHz) yet the two least significant bits of OSCCON selects the primary oscillator - where you may or may not have a x-tal connected (you don't tell us anything about your hardware setup)?

And you have not told the compiler what frequency you're aiming to run at.

So, we need a bit more detail regarding what you're trying to do exactly.

Thank you for your reply. You are right I am trying to use the internal oscillator and have no idea how to setup the oscillator section. I do not plan to use any of the special features “usb ” of this processor. I did notice my mistake late last night and fixed these lines,
CONFIG FOSC = INTOSC_XT ; Internal oscillator, XT used by USB (INTXT)
CONFIG MCLRE = OFF ; RE3 input pin enabled; MCLR pin disabled

I am blinking now but have no idea how to set up the rest of the configuration. I am using the 18f2550 in place of a 16f648a to acquire more code space. I need all of my IOs to be digital with int.pullups on the top 4 of PORTB “4-7”. The datasheet is a 426 page fun read to say the least. Any help you offer will be appreciated.
Thank You,

The config you have seems fine but unless you want to use the watchdog turn WDT off and you can turb VREGEN off as you're not using USB. One question though, if you aren't using USB, why not use a device similar to 2550 but with additional features and more memory eg 18F25K22?
