USB Pics, ICD2, pic basic pro

[vacpress]

So, Ive used the UBB USB Sniffer to see what is going on.. This is the log it makes, any ideas?

I see that it is getting back alot of 0s.. Just like when i try to verify a pic that isnt in the programmer socket... i will now scour the USB protocol so I can troubleshoot these foreign messages. Damn, this isnt how i like to spend my little spare devlopment time...

this is what the logger reports when i set it to track the next device to be plugged in, and then plug in my project.

anyone know of any GOOD walkthroughs for this stuff? I am very close to plunking down the $60 for the Microchip.com demo board.this troubles me because i am poor enough as it is, and that is like, half my food money for the next 2 weeks!
