10mhz yes, 20mhz no...

i think the led works fine, it seems too, i havent actually timed it to make sure its correct. the lcd is a serial lcd, and it just shows wierd characters. the same as if i cahnge the baud rate. i was thinking it might have something to do with my crystal being off, but i have tried a couple, with a couple different chips. i will try playing around with the timing and baud rate and see what i can come up with.

That's what I'm thinking. You've got 32 set in for 19,200. Maybe set the jumpers for the lowest possible baud rate and work your way up and see if/where it fails.

You also might want to try and see if you can communicate with hyperterminal (to make sure your pic is set just right)
