Sorry Steve, you lost me there !

Are you saying that its a hardware issue (the Olimex PG-02 programmer) or software (winpic or picpgm) - or a incompatibility between either and the 18F2550. It has worked fine in the past with other PICs ??

I've just tried an option on the WinPIC software, and programmed the CODE only. The code loaded with no issues as can be seen by the log below

Programming...
Erasing: CODE ..
Programming CODE, 0x000000..0x001016
Verifying CODE, 0x000000..0x001016
Verifying 0x000000..0x001016
Programming finished, no errors.

I then unchecked the data and code boxes and just tried the config memory box - The first time I tried it it errored - the second time it worked

Programming...
Programming CONFIG, 0x300000..0x30000C
Verifying CONFIG, 0x300000..0x30000C
Verifying 0x300000..0x30000C
Programming finished, no errors.

Rechecking all the boxed I varified the PIC and it reported

Cannot verify at different voltages with this hardware.
Verifying...

I've attached the config memory settings displayed under that tab - I have no idea if they are right ?

I also need to re-build the breadboard as I've used it for something else i was playing with, so I can't confirm yet if doing it this way has worked and your test code is actually working when hooked up as per the schematic I posted eariler.
