    Just a thought for you...
    Since you know it works with an external oscillator and NOT with the internal one which likely needs to be calibrated...Now might be the time to learn how to calibrate it to work correctly for future uses in this arena...since you've got a working example that is...

    And I don't know about the WINPIC programmer, but the PICKIT2 from Microchip has an option to get the CAL value back on these types of PICs...something else to think about...

    Here is the link to an00250 from microchip, regarding how to recover the missing number:

    This has been my problem with using the internal OSC.
    From the link Joe gave:
    Applications that are exposed to a varying
    voltage and temperature range could have
    intelligent on-board recalibration.
    I can make it work in the shop, but when it goes out into the world of 120 degrees F in the shade things get weird again. A three legged resonator does not have a problem.

    Maybe I am missing something?
