SW> Have you tried rebooting your computer? Sometimes the simplest things work SW> wonders. Just a thought. Trust me, i have tried almost everything for about three hours. I even tried to check all the components i could think of on the ICD board (resistors, transistors etc). I rebooted my computer many times. I even stopped it completely and still no result. I uninstalled mplab and cleaned up all icd2 drivers and erased everything from registry and still no luck. I am trying now with an older version of MPLAB (7.10) and maybe i will see something moving again.
