Cant get it to work

Hmm. let me double check this:

Yes I am using 1K. The "Power" LED seems to do just fine with the 1K but I see what your saying about the pic not having a whole lot of current. Just for gits and shiggles I removed the resistor all together comming from the pic and not so much as a blown LED... just a whole lot of nothing...

However....

Then show us how you have the *.inc file setup or how you are doing it in code space.

Please do not say you are setting them with icprog...

Actually, yes.. that is exactly how I am setting the fuses. Is that wrong?

Assuming you have wired everything correctly, and not as per your original sketch then it could be that either your JDM programmer isn't programmingn the PICS or IC-Prog is not setting the config correctly.

That was my original assumtion as well. I have done all kinds of little "tests" though (writing data in EEPROM memory and reading it back, etc). I dont *THINK* its the programmer hardware but I would bet my life it isnt either. For all I know its a bunch of bad chips... though I have had no luck with 16F88 chips either and those I have here are brand new in the tube.
