Many thanks to all those that assisted my S.O.S message. The problem was, as many of you suggested, the configuration word. I have not still learned a lot of the assembler, but my programmer includes an utility to configure this word manually and after making it the PIC worked as wanted. At the beginning I thought that the Chip came configured by defect to work with crystals now know that i should not suppose anything. Well friends, again thank you. I will be working very hard to be able to participate in an active way in the list. Carlos Gruber.
