Help Newbie MPLAB V8.01 Program error

preprocessor symbol `__debug is defined.

I upgraded to MPLAB V8.01 and deleted my first 16F626A program in the process which compiled and ran without errors in the previous version of MPLAB simulator.
I have copied and pasted my original program into MPLAB V8.01 and get the following error message:

Can someone please tell me what I am now doing wrong?
Thanks

You had a linking error, your program is occupying the reset vector, whose length is usually 5 words. Did you create a project? If yes, try removing the file '16f628a.lkr' from your project.

Show us how you set up the project, or read the 'MPLAB IDE Quick Start Guide' (DS51281).

Cheers,

This is my code which gives the error:

list p=16F628A ; list directive to define processor
#include <p16F628A.inc> ; processor specific variable definitions

errorlevel -302 ; suppress message 302 from list file


__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _DATA_CP_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _BOREN_OFF & _MCLRE_ON & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _INTOSC_OSC_NOCLKOUT


; '__CONFIG' directive is used to embed configuration word within .asm file.
; The lables following the directive are located in the respective .inc file.

- Start MPLAB IDE
- Select 'File>New' from 'File' menu
- Paste your program into the new file
- Save it with whatever filename you like, and with a '.asm' extension
- Select 'Project>Quickbuild <yourfilename>.asm' from 'Project' menu (or hit Alt-F10)

Another way is to put 'org 5' before your 'main' label.

Cheers,

mplab initialize eeprom

As namqn wrote, put " org 0x05" just before the label "main" (let say, just "on top").
regards

I had a same problem but solved by the way namqn told. Thanx namqn.
