Marcello,

Chances are your problem is that you have NOT specified _LVP_OFF in your
__CONFIG statement or you have LVP enabled it in your programmer.  If you
leave this out this value in the __CONFIG statement, the LVP will be enabled
by default.

For the PIC16F87x, I typically use the statement (which is all one line):

 __CONFIG _CP_OFF & _DEBUG_OFF & _XT_OSC & _PWRTE_ON  & _WDT_OFF & _LVP_OFF
& _WRT_ENABLE_ON & _BODEN_ON & _CPD_OFF

To ensure that the PICmicro MCU will run correctly.

When you're working with a new PICmicro MCU, it's always a good idea to look
through the Microchip include file (ie "p16f876.inc") and make sure you
specify a setting for each configuration fuse.

Good luck,

myke
