If I select pic16f84 I'm not getting any kind of problems(but still I'm not able 2 program my uC)..

Plz I need some help, its been months since I've bought this programmer, but still I'm unable to use it...
Like you said, you have 2 separate problems here. The first seems to be a harware problem; let look into that later.

The second one, I suspect is this; are you using a statement that defines the PIC within your code (as in @ Device Pic16F84A .... ) with Microcode Studio? Chances are you have defined a different PIC in the MCS option of 'Target Processor'. I mean, your code might be specifying a 16F84A, but MCS is looking for a 16F84 (or the other way around).

Give us a feedback on the above, and then we'll move on to the hardware issue.
