Oscillator question and measurement

[rsocor01]

I didn't have a scope handy and the meter I had isn't able to calculate high frequencies. I'll be able to try that tonight. What should I expect to see with just a toggle command?

I think the problem is that you are not configuring the fuses of the PIC correctly. Are you also setting the OSCON register? I use a 4MHz crystal with my 18F4550 and to make it work the first time it was a pain.
