#int_timer1 pre-processor directive

I'm using a PIC16F877A with a keypad & lcd display. I'm trying to activate a timer1 ISR routine, but when I put in the "#int_timer1" directive the compiler says it's an invalid pre-processor directive. I'm using version 3.242 PCWH compiler. Is there an include file I need to use in order to use the timers? I'm already using "#int_rb" with no problems. I'm new to this compiler, and it is different or unique.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Razz

I tried it on my PCWH 3.242 and it compiles and works with no problems (the only file I included was the <16F877A.H> file).
Is there an adjacent line possibly causing your problem?

I've tried opening a new project with just the minimum shell and it still does it. I've tried it in both PICC IDE and MPLAB and the results are all the same. I'm going to unintall my complier and reinstall it. I installed it over an older version. That may be the problem.

Thanks.

Humberto,

I've located the problem. I installed the new version of the compiler over an old version. I should have unintalled the old version first. I unintalled everything and started fresh and it works fine now.

Thanks
