| Compile error - How can solve it?? (Unknown Device Type) |

Hi everyone,
I'm facing with an error like that :
"Unknown Device Type -- Try PCM"
That error seems to be occured because of the first line of the project :
| Code: | | #include <PIC16F84.h> |
I tried writing | Code: | | #include <PIC16F84.h> |
, even | Code: | | #include <PIC16C84.h> |
and - because the manual said that the mid-letter should be C it does not matter what it really is..
Actually, I have read all the manual, too, from beginning to end 
What should I do, anyone to help me?
I know that's not a big deal, could be a trick or something basic at all, but I used to program .NET or Java and just beginning for PIC programming..
Thanks for anyone to give me a hand!..
NOTE : System configuration is Windows Vista Home Premium, running the program with Administrator Privilages.. |

Look in this directory:
C:\Program Files\PICC\Devices
It contains the *.h files that your compiler has.

Yep, all the .h files stay there - even i tried renaming the 16F84.h file to PIC16F84.h or testing.h, and tried to import those files but nothing changes -
always the same error..
I mean, there can't be a problem within the .h files.. |

1. What compiler version are you using ?
2. Are you using the demo ?
3. Are you using the full CCS IDE ? Or are you using a command line
compiler within MPLAB ? |

There are three compilers available - PCB, PCM and PCH. Each one is for a different series PIC. Make sure you are using the correct one.
