Hi Jack,
Look at post #4 in this thread. Mr E. explained what to do to eliminate the last error of which you speak. The compiler sees the config default settings in the INC file and then sees the config setting in your code, and guess what it does?
It ignores the setting in your code and goes with the default. So just add a semicolon ahead of the two statements he showed you and the compiler will forevermore do what you tell it for this chip. You will have to edit each individual inc file as needed. So why is that statement even in there? Did you ever compile a program without setting the configs? Did it work? Yes it probably did if you used a 4mhz chrystal, because of the default configs.

Just a thought....


...now that we mostly work with Flash devices rather than OTP, shouldnt we be referring to "Configuration Circuit Breakers" rather than "Configuration Fuses" because we can reset them.

joe thanks for the info i guess what you are saying is i need to find the
inc file for this chip and rem out the config statement so it writes it according to my programs

the problem, which i had earlier and never really found a answer is i am not sure where it is looking for these files as i have many inc files for this chip
got installed with some programmers and mpsam so really dont know which file to use.
if i try the first part besides getting the error of overwriteing it will not go out to the programmer

also if i try to use the second part of posting #4 i get huge errrors see my later listing
so basically niether statement works for me
must be a simpler way

thanks

We talk about commenting the PBP default ones. THE .INC file is located in the PBP folder.

What I am really saying is despite my inability to spell crystal properly, follow mister_e's instructions and you will be right 99.9999999062 % of the time, He will never intentionaly lead you astray! Same with most all of the other " BIG GUNS" in this forum same applies to BIG 'UNS too . I wish he was an investment counselor !
