Wow, thanks for the effort Keith!
Too bad it didn't work, I was hoping I was doing something wrong at my end. I'm a bit suprised that Microchips own programer have problems flashing the device. I'll try the cap aproach here as well to see if I can get it to work, not that I think it will but....

Mister_e,
I did not try ICSP, never used it actually. Please let us know what you find out from the tech support. I may end up contacting them as well If I continue to have problems.

I'd really like to get this chip going....

Thanks again, both of you!
