What programmer are you using?
What programming software are you using?
What chip are you trying to program?
What board is your chip in, and what are the connections to the ISP headers (post schematic if possible)
Please copy and paste the exact error messages you're getting. We don't have much to go on at this point.

What did the troubleshooting section in the help window say? I'm guessing that the lines aren't connected to the programmer socket correctly. Either a solder problem, or wires going to the wrong pins.

Failure to enter programming mode generally means either the SPI connection isn't working, or it can't drive the reset pin. Check the connections again, it's easy to get turned around when you look at the diagram from the top and then solder from the bottom.
