Hi Alan,

Last time I had a problem like this was that I forgot to select device
family so that PicKit2 was looking for mid-range device while I had a base
line hanging on it. Other possibility is that you have the first generation
of PicKit2 (black button) and you do not have the PGC&PGD pulled down to the
ground.
