delay problem with pic 16f877

[geboy]

hai everyone I am using MPLABX IDE with hitech c compiler. I wrote a program to just blink a led at pin RD2. The delay time i programmed is 1second. But the actual delay time is more than 15 seconds . why is that?. How to solve it?
the program is as below
#include<pic.h>
#define _XTAL_FREQ 4000000
void main()
{
TRISD = 0x00;
PORTD=0x00;
while(1)
{
RD2=0;
__delay_ms(1000);
RD2 = 1;
__delay_ms(1000);
}

}

hi,
delay problems comes from the improper crystal connection or different value, and the microcontroller fuses setup.

thanks i will check it out

Try this -

#include<htc.h>

__CONFIG(LVP_OFF & BOREN_OFF & PWRTE_ON & WDTE_OFF & FOSC_XT);

#define _XTAL_FREQ 4000000

void main(void)
{
	TRISD = 0x00;
	PORTD=0x00;

	while(1)
	{
		RD2=0;
		__delay_ms(1000);
		RD2 = 1;
		__delay_ms(1000);
	}

}

i found the problem. The problem was actually because of power supply. It was actually an adapter. I think it's output has ripples.Replaced it with battery then it became alright
