Re: 16F84 HELP!!!

We're doing our best to understand what you're asking, because we sincerely want to help everyone overcome their problems. We're just frustrated by imperfect spelling and grammar, because we who want to help are generally engineers who thrive on precision.

I don't mind occasional misspellings, but continuous failure to properly use the SHIFT key and appropriate punctuation does get irritating rather quickly.

Now that I've had my public rant on the topic, let's see how we can help you. Can you start with a little more detail on what you're trying to do? What you've said so far isn't very clear. It sounds like you have a PIC programming circuit with a misbehaving copy of IC-PROG, though it also sounds like you don't have a .hex file to give to IC-PROG. You say you have the third-party compiler necessary to compile your C program, but that it doesn't work.

How about starting at the beginning? We'll go from there based on what we find. What exactly are you using to try to compile, and what exactly is it doing when you try it?
