Hey guys i've been tryna building this two button counter but it doesn't work. Displays change at the same time and they showin other things oher than numbers. Anyone has a idea why it is like that?? (Display is common cathode btw)

You are now using a seven segment decoder IC, but appear to be feeding that with the segment table pattern rather than the straight binary digit value?

And you are writing the table pattern to port A, so changing all the outputs from it.
 
I think you have the wrong display.. I think you need a common cathode, OR drive the pins with a PNP

Using that display the pins 1 and 2 are both low... If you had a common cathode then it would work.

@dandak... 6th line after Xtal_Freq...

When you changed the "other" one you put pullups on the 7 segment display, so it saw a 5v and a 0v

**** Update.. to get it working as is.. put your 10 pullups back in above the transistors.

ALSO!! I been going through your code.

You are now using a segment encoder so the table is out... THEN you are using LATA and overwriting the display 1&2 latches...

Needs sorting
