There are a couple problems

You're calling delay() in your isr and the main loop. It's using the same memory locations for looping in both invocations. They're going to step on each other.

Do you have your logic backwards?
The while(1) loop should display the current picture, and the timed isr change the picture to the new scrolled version.

Once all the blanks are shifted in, the picture will be empty. This will happen very fast.
 
Thanks mate but now the problem is that the text is scrolling very fast is there any way to control its speed...

here is the code:

I'm shooting from the hip here, but go through the datasheet for your device and read about the registers associated with timer0. Things you want to look for is the 'Timer reload value', the clock source for the timer, and make sure the timer is configured as a 16 bit timer.

again thanks
 

Hii you need your ISR some thing like this where you need assign some values to TH0 and TL0 ....check the code below-

Code: 
static bit pwm_flag = 0; // define global
volatile unsigned int  count=0; // define global


void timer0(void) interrupt 1  using 1
{
        if(!pwm_flag) { //Start of High level
                pwm_flag = 1;   //Set flag
                PWMPIN = 1;     //Set PWM o/p pin
                TH0 = 0xFF;        //Load timer
                TL0= 0xFD;
                if(count<=250)
                {
                 count =count+1;
                }
                else
                {
                 count =0;
                }

                TF0 = 0;                //Clear interrupt flag
                return;         //Return
        }
        else {  //Start of Low level
                pwm_flag = 0;   //Clear flag
                PWMPIN = 0;     //Clear PWM o/p pin
                TH0 = 0xFF;  //Load timer
	       TL0= 0xFD;
                TF0 = 0;        //Clear Interrupt flag
                return;         //return
        }

}

Good Luck

hello,
I want to test all alphabets from A to Z using a 5x7 led display in 8051.
here is the code with errors: plz help me to rectify. I am using a Keil as my compiler and PROTEUS as my simulator
