Hello Hello Mister_E,

Yes, I did read your post on that too, but no, I haven't modified the board yet, but I don't think that is the problem. It means I must press the RESET button before I used the ICD.

I have some positive results this morning when I wake up...in WIN XP control panel | system | hardware | Com Ports, - I slowed down my COM1 to 4800bps baud (8-N-1) No flow control.

Seems to connect everytime, but slow and *sometimes* freezes.
I use a simple test program like:

Code:
DEFINE OSC 4

Main:

HIGH PORTB.0
PAUSE 500
LOW PORTB.0
PAUSE 500
HIGH PORTB.1
PAUSE 500
LOW PORTB.1
PAUSE 500

GOTO Main

END
Hihihihihi......I don't think I need to use the ENABLE DEBUG and DISABLE DEBUG for a simple program! :-)))))

I will check the XTAL, I have some really cheap ones.

Possibly my older DELL computer is dying and needs a really big hammer or drop it off a tall building :-)))

I try some other things and then I give up...

I don't really need ICD, but just wanted to try it.
