PIC16F877A not working again :(

[skimask]

Ive just reprogrammed the PIC chip with my origional test code but setting the oscillator to HS and it works.

Thanx for your help

I've had the same exact problems myself, especially since I've been using either an 8 or 20MHz HC-49 case crystal in a lot of recent experiements. No matter what programming software is used, it always seems to default to "XT" instead of "HS". I usually forget to change the PIC in the drop-down menu in Microcode Studio from 16F628A to whatever PIC the program is for, but that's easy to find and correct when the program doesn't assemble correctly and gives a "too many errors" error message.

Is there an .ini file or another file I can modify to have the default settings in Microcode Studio automatically select the PIC I've been using most lately, and to default to "HS" instead of "XT" in the oscillator setting? Same question for the PICFlash software from mikroElektronika-anything I can modify to change the same default settings?

Have you seen this about the config settings for the PIC?

Thanks for the link, Dave! Once I get those default settings changed, I'm sure that'll save me quite a few frustrating moments...
