Recently someone told me how to put resistors on a noppp to get more voltage out of my laptop lpt but unfortunately I have lost the email. I think it was Roman. I posted earlier about being unable to turn the WDT off in the MPLab Sim. Switching between two computers with 2 different versions of MPLAB was the culprit. There is a setting in the newest (non beta) version that allows you to turn off the WDT. It is under [edit project] -> [configure] - be aware that it will lose your cpu type settings, but once reset, everything is back on track.
