Hi Bearpawz,

I just tried your code on a 16F628 and it worked just fine. You probably have a hardwareproblem. Check and make sure that your outputs are swinging all the way between 0 and Vdd, if not you're in trouble. Most common mistake is a missing(or to low) resistor in series with the LED. You also need to make sure that your pulldownresistors(on the buttons) are properly connected. Other shorts could ofcourse also be a problem.

Even though ive been through every circuit on the board with a meter and found no problems, Im thinking it must be hardware as well. Im going to see if I can find the right style switch in a push on/push off configuration and just hook up supply power to that switch (the way it should be done anyway). thanks for the help though.
