unsure of fuses for an lcd display

we are doing a project using solar power to judge how many hours of
sunlight there are a day. everything has been put together but when we
go to burn the program onto the pic16f876 we are unsure where to find
which fuses should be used and  which should not any help out there???

Look in the datasheet for "configuration fuses".

These are stored at address 2007(hex) in the hex file

Try here - http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39582b.pdf

Page 144 should reveal all.

You need to provide more details about your circuit, but this should get
you started:

              __CONFIG    _CP_OFF & _DEBUG_OFF & _WRT_OFF & _CPD_OFF &
_LVP_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _BODEN_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC

You should be able to place this in the source file and the information
will be included in the HEX file.  Any decent PIC programmer should be
able to take it from there.

Replace the _XT_OSC with _HS_OSC, _LP_OSC or _RC_OSC as required.
