How to add start up delay for the LCD;

It REALLY is as simple as what Mister_E said... where you have your "pause 100" command at the moment, change it to "pause 500". This SHOULD allow enought time for the LCD to settle. If this still does not help, change it to "Pause 2000" and try that. If that still does not work, your problem is unlikely to be LCD settle time. Post back if these do not work

also we don't know your PIC model, it can have analog stuff on any port. If they're not disabled .. it will never work.

I use pic16f84a and pic16f628a

[mister_e]

on PIC16F628a you'll have to disable the analog comparator
CMCON=7

On both you should make sure the LVP fuse is disabled before programming.

If your Crystal is >4MHZ be sure the OSC fuse is set to HS AND you have the according DEFIN at the top of your code.

Be sure the MCLR pin is tie to somewhere

etc
etc

The blink program idea is still remain so far
