Error message

Hi,

I am busy with making a project where I’m using a PIC 16F877A. The programmer is K8076.
Problem: I have programmed this PIC several times (I think untill today about 40 times).
Yesterday everything was OK.
Today I made some changes in the programm and want to re-programm the PIC.
I get the message “The settings don’t match the PIC in the programmer”. I don’t know why.
To be sure of all the hardware is still OK, I’ve programmed a PIC 16F628A - no problems.
Can it be that the PIC 16F877A is broken ? Is there a possibility to check if the PIC is broken ?
Is there another possibility to do some checking on the PIC ?
I have only one 16F877A in my possession.
Thanks for your help.
