Presetting Configuration Fuses (PIC Defines) into your Program

[Archangel]

I set the ICD as a programmer. When I released the PIC from Reset it runs so slow I thought it was not working. Either I screwed up the OSCCON settings or there is something I am missing.

You should compile NOT using ICD COMPILE, use the one which says compile, only use ICD compile to use the ICD, recompile with the COMPILE for stand alone use. Put a
DEFINE OSC 4
or whatever number is right in you code near the top. The PIC is probably running using the fail safe oscillator .
