This is the parallel type EPIC programmer right?Originally Posted by elankart
Does it start to program and then quit for some silly reason? Windows XP may periodically access printer ports and interrupt the EPIC programming process. This can be stopped with a registry entry. Go to MeLabs for the registry fix. I had a similar problem with my Warp13a, only it was caused by the motherboard's periodic temperature sensor/fan sensor reading about every 5 seconds or so. Made me pull hair out until I disabled it in BIOS.
Power supply - >13VAC or >16VDC?
Parallel port set to "standard" or "ECP" (try both) in the bios setup
Use the Windows Task Manager to stop the process "spoolsv.exe".

Sorry misread previous suggestion about the LPT patch.
BTW, i don't think it's a good idea to kill the Spoolsv.exe process...unless it sucks 99% of your system ressource... if so.. it's probably a virus, a bad network setup (if any), or bad printer(device) driver anyways.
EDIT: are you programming your PIC in the ZIF socket or using ICSP?

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

no ZIF... ICSP... I mounted my uC in the socket provided...

If you're using ICSP, you followed the following method and schematic?

THE LVP/PGM pin is really tied/loaded to GND (if there's any on the PIC you're using)?
