Subject: Re: [PIC] ICD2 as programmer : Why isn't it releasing reset
afterprogram?

Hi,

The ability to control the MCLR line using the 'Release from Reset/Hold in
Reset' toolbar buttons conflicted with this particular setting under ICD 2.

Therefore, we have disabled the automatic run.  If you need the target to
run after programming, you can simply disconnect the target from the ICD 2
or push the toolbar button to release from MCLR from hold.

The option is available when in the ICD 2 debugger mode,where much of your
development is probably taking place.

Thanks,

Howard Hom
