PIC16F913 with Varitronix LCD

[ilias80]

Greetings,
I just got the PIC16F913 and I am trying to use it with a varitronix LCD (VIM-503). I looked at this forum check for some example codes and found one but when I tried, almost all the LCD is on (with some segments darker than the other ones). Also I don't get on the hypeterminal(using rs232) the correct display. Here's the code I am executing. I connected seg0-seg6 and com0-com2 and 1/3 bias. Is there anything i am doing wrong? Thanks for the help. It would be greatly appreciated. I am just stuck and don't see any obvious solution. this is the link to my LCD: http://www.varitronix.com/Product/LCD/VIM-503-1(R0).pdf
