Declan,
I have had some trouble like this, and it turned out to be a real stupid
error. I don�t know what software and what hardware you use for programming.
I use the Microchip PIC programmer and the MPLAB software, if you use the
same thing, please check out in your MPLAB IDE "OPTIONS" -> "DEVELOPMENT MODE"
"CLOCK" >>> this is got to be set to whatever you write into your ASM code.
You have to change this, whenever you change your clock settings in your assembler code,
or your PIC won�t work, it will program fine, nor error messages, but still won�t work.

Just a thought

Cheers

Friedel

I have a little job going through ( big in terms of cash, but the small in
terms of size). At it's heart is a pic 16f877 with a 32.768khz xtal which
won't go.

After initial hassle, and a phone call to the manufacturers, I now have
2x22pf caps from each end of the xtal to ground, (for ~12.5pF load) and a
resistor in series with osc2 of 1.1k (CMAC suggested not less than 300 ohms
and not more than 2K). Nothing. nada. I have tried lower & higher resistance
and capacitance. I did swap pic and crystal  for new parts at the same time.
Any ideas?
