| Protected Code Even When Using NOPROTECT? |

Hi,
I'm trying to program a PIC18F4520 and despite having fuses set to:
| Code: | #fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,BROWNOUT,PUT,NOLVP,NOCPD,NOWRT
|
My programmer (PICKIT2) is still displaying 'All Protect' and displays zeros when reading from the device.
I've looked through all the fuses for teh device and can't find any further ones I'd have to include.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
EDIT: Compiler Version PCWH 4.087 |

You probably need to perform a full erase.
If the erase fuse is set, it can _only_ be cleared by completely erasing the chip (makes sense if you think about it....). Hence if the fuse has been set in the past, a full erase is needed. On many programmers there is an option to 'erase only memory needed', and if this is set, and the protect fuse has been set in the past, because a 'full erase' is not automatically done, you get the behaviour you are seeing.
Best Wishes |

Excellent thanks.
For anyone else who has this problem:
Erase button (next to verify)
Untick Tools -> Enable Code Protect
Untick Tools -> Enable Data Protect
Reload HEX
