Hi Ray, I don't have access to any of my headers or notes right now but I do have a question for you. Are you using the MCLR line as I/O or as MCLR? I seem to recall that it needs to be MCLR and pulled up when using the ICD-2. I'll check into it further tonight but I'm getting slammed at work right now.
