COM port number, Baud Rate & Handshaking / parity settings?? - I guess you've checked these Richard P Hello, I have not had the chance to sit down and program pics in many months. I just purchased PicBasicPro and now I want to start programming again. My problem arises in the fact that the programmer was working the last time I used it and now it is not programming pics. I had some serious Windoz problems with 98. I never could cure them so I dumped my hard drive to another system and erased my HD and put Win2K on it. I then copied only what I needed back over and trashed the rest. I am using Pic16Pro Light to send the files to the programmer. I have check the config files on the Dontronics site and everything is still the same. It seems the programmer works in the fact that the first set of red and green leds next to the power plug come on and when I try to send a file over, the other two seem to blink ok. But the programming fails, I cannot erase the pic or read one. I am not sure what to look for. Can someone help?
