breadboard atmega 328 oscilator not working, Why???

zigaRupret:
well i kind of solved the problem.
i was googling the whole day and find that the problem must be in parallel programmer or on computer side(WinXP SP3), and that nobody actually solved the problem.

i threw away the parallel port and order a professional programmer, since this is not solvable

I came to the same conclusion several years ago. After fighting with a homebrew parallel programmer, I gave up and burned it up in the back yard (well I felt like it) and spend $19 for a USBtiny hardware programmer kit from Adafruit. It is supported directly by the arduino IDE and works great first time and every time sense.
