There are a couple of days that I am stuck with a problem with my ICD2
clone. Simply stated : from Mplab IDE 6.60 I can program my 18f452 board
(selecting the ICD2 as programmer), verify the program and after releasing
the reset line, execute the program in my prototype. However, I cannot debug
the program using the ICD2 as debugger. When within Mplab I switch to ICD2
working as debugger, I can connect to ICD2 :

Connecting to MPLAB ICD 2
...Connected
Setting Vdd source to target
Target Device PIC18F452 found, revision = Rev 0x6
...Reading ICD Product ID
Running ICD Self Test
...Passed
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready

But when I try to program the 18f452 I get the following messages :

Programming Target...
...Erasing Part
...Loading DebugExecutive
...Programming DebugExecutive
...Programming Debug Vector
...Programming RSBUG
Verifying...
...Debug Executive
...Debug Vector
...Verify Succeeded
Programming Configuration Bits
.. Config Memory
Verifying configuration memory...
...Verify Succeeded
Connecting to debug executive
ICD0083: Target not in debug mode, unable to perform operation
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready

Clock, config bits, powering of target should be OK because with ICD2
working as programmer everything works (even running the application in my
board). But I cannot put target in debug mode (and, hence, I cannot debug).

Has anybody any idea of what is going on ? Is it possible that ICD2 be
defective (I bought it a few days ago) ?

Any help would be VERY appreciated. I am completely stuck ....

Thanks, guys (gals) ....
