The MPLAB most of us are using is not the one that came on the kit CD. It's free to the general public. Pick it up from here: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName =en019469&part=SW007002

The version doesn't really matter, but later on when you have questions it'll be easier if we're all using the same copy.

If you reinstall any of these, make sure to uninstall the old versions first.

The computer we are programming on the RC is a Microchip PIC18F8520, one of hundreds of types available.

The linker file gives directions on how the physical space on the RC is divided up. Don’t worry about it since I doubt it’s causing your problem now. It’s the file 18f8520user.lkr in the FrcCode_1_7_2005 default project folder.
