Hello guys. I am beginner. I am learning ASM. I changed usedpmi fasm example. But messages are not displaying now. Where is my error ? I could not find.

Code:

----     usedpmi.asm    ---- (changed - my example)

format MZ
heap 0                                  ; no additional memory

hello,
well im somewhat sure you have some mispellings like:

Code:

start:
mov esi,hello
.loop:
lodsb
or al,al
jz .done
mov dl,al
mov ah,2
mov ax,4C00h
int 21h
jmp .loop
.done:

mov ax,4C00h
int 21h

the interesting part is

Code:

mov ax,4C00h
int 21h
jmp .loop
.done:

dos function exit with error code: 00h
then jump to .loop

i think you could fix these easily

hm and there are some things different in protected mode than in dos mode, for example you can only use interrupts that can be called from protected mode, unless you do some trick, and call 16 bit interrupt routines.

i think that you cannot call real-mode int 21h directly from protected mode
