Skimask,
I have erased the chip using WinPic (or at least winpic thinks it's erasing the chip, I get no errors) but when i try to reprogram I get verify errors.

I'm going to go back to tinkering with my 16F627A's and RF for a while until I get another 16F88. I'll stay away from using INTRC_OSC and MCLR_OFF together for now.

At least I know what happened to my 12F675's now, too bad I bent the pins and tossed them.

You guys are great, thanks again.
I have 2 JDM programmers, they are different from one another, on each of them, printed on the circuit board is the orientation of the pic chips and location, As I said, they are WAY different in respect to each other. as far as issues of MCLR on/off, INTRC vs HS, xt . . . NONE. The issue I seem to have is one of them the ZIF socket is beginning to wear (the Plating) and I got tired of having to wiggle the chips before programming, that's why I have 2. #2 came in the mail today, works fine so far using ICProg.
