Hi Melanie

First of all, I would like to congratulate you for the great job that you are doing in this forum. It really helps guys like me with no experience with microcontroller.

Yes I have seen that problem some time ago and corrected it in my design. But my problem right now is the code. The chip is not performing according to the program.Let me ask you a direct question.

1. I used Timer 1 for real-time clock.Do you see any problem in that module ?
2. I used Time var word and then I used high byte and low byte for hour and minute. Is that Ok?
3. How about the assembly code. Do you think that could make the chips unstable. I tried my best not to live floating inputs.I also put a stabilizing capacitor near the chip b/n Vss and Vdd.I tried to do every thing by the book.
