Hi guys,

Im using a Mega8 at the moment and cant quite understand whats
happening with my watchdog timer. I have never used the watchdog timer
before, but have had quite a bit of general programming experience.

Basically, I do as the datasheet says, 

I write a one to WDCE and WDE simultaneously, then in the next
instruction write 0x0F to WDTCR (2048k prescaler, WDE = 1)

But, when I try to disable the watchdog by doing the same as above,
except writing 0x00 to WDTCR, the processor resets, like a watchdog
reset. 

I disable it will within the 2seconds I should have before it expires. 

Has anyone else had issues with the watchdog timer ?

By the way, im using an 8Mhz internal oscillator, Watchdog enable fuse
not blown, so it should be under software control.

Would greatly appreciate any help !!
