Ok I gesu i ve found the problem. The PICKit device module for my PIC is not included and PICKit 2 is red instead of green. Is there anyway i can include it?
 
Hi,

A bit strange that only the latest Pk3 can program that device, yet its over 12 years old ?

You can program it with the Pk2 using the PK2 V2.61 application form the Pk2 site, though there is a v2.61 note saying it must have a full 5v VDD, so an external true +5v may have to be used when programming with a Pk2

However there is no indication that the chip has a built in debugger or if a external add on debugger would work.

Probably your best bet would be to port the code onto a similar 28 pin chip like the 16F872/873 or 876A chips all of which can run debugger direct.
 
Try the standalone PICKit2 program. The 16F72 doesn't support hardware debug. You'll need a more modern part like the 16F877A or 16F887
