pic icsp help

I am trying to program an 18f2550 through icsp and I am not having any luck. I am using a willem dual power programmer with it's icsp header and I have my pic on a breadboard. I have seen several circuits that are supposed to be required for icsp, I have tried most of them and did not get anywhere. I keep getting an error message, error program memory at 0x000000. I have also tried several different chips and keep getting the same error. I am running winxp with the porttalk driver installed.

If you do not get an answer it is because no one here uses that programmer. Most of us use PIC specific programmers. You might try asking this question on a site where people use willem programmers.
