Hello Bruce,

Bruce>>Oscillator settings shouldn't have anything to do with in-circuit programming.<<


Yes Bruce, you are correct. Thanks for pointing this out.


The reason why *I* answered in the OSC response, and the reason why Mister_e responded also, is because the Gentleman already seemed to take precautions of programming problems. Then when I saw he went from a 4 MHZ OSC to a 32k OSC, I remmebered how I *thought* my chip was burnt up <g>. then I realized the 32K OSC was defaulted... thus 128 times slower than a regular 4MHZ chip <g>. That is the equivalent of running Windows XP on a 4 GHZ machine and comparing it to a 32 MHZ machine. Most people would say your machine is "locked" up. <g>.
