When I try to use FASM in my new vaio vista computer (32-bit), it doesn't want to compile any API calls, such as this simple little program.

Code:

format PE console
include '%fasminc%\win32ax.inc'


section '.data' data readable writeable

        ;Default Key for testing
        CipherKeyWord0   DD 0x2b7e1516
        CipherKeyWord1   DD 0x28aed2a6
        CipherKeyWord2   DD 0xabf71588
        CipherKeyWord3   DD 0x09cf4f3c

        ExpandedKey128Bit    RW 44

        ;WriteConsole
        NumWritten RB 2
        ;ReadConsole
        NumRead    RB 2
        ReadChar   RB 100
        ;GetStdHandle
        hStdIn     RD 1
        hStdOut    RD 1

        ;Main Screen
        MainScreen DB 'Rijndael Key Schedule',0x0D,0x0A,0
                   DB 'Expanded key is:',0x0D,0x0A,0


section '.code' code readable executable

   CrypterMain:
   ;Expands the key, prints to console

        ;Save all, just for debug
        pusha

        ;Get Input Buffer Handle
        push -0x0A
        call [GetStdHandle]
        mov [hStdIn],eax

        ;Get Output Buffer Handle
        push -0x0B
        call [GetStdHandle]
        mov [hStdOut],eax

        ;Write startup screen
        push 0
        push NumWritten
        push 42
        push MainScreen
        push [hStdOut]
        call [WriteConsole]

        ;ReadConsole Debug
        push 0
        push NumRead
        push 2
        push ReadChar
        push [hStdIn]
        call [ReadConsole]

        ;End process
        popa
        push 0
        call [ExitProcess]


   ;End of Key Expansion

The file win32ax was found, but it does not recognize the symbols for the API's. All earlier programs I made with FASM still work, and I just downloaded and tried the newest version of fasm. Can anyone tell me why none of the API's are recognized?

Your code has a bug

Do you have defined fasminc environmental variable? Additionally I see no imports anywhere so if that is all the source then your problem is that (but it always was like this, only with .end macro you get the import table automatically created with all the USED functions declared on win32 headers).

Using ".end CrypterMain" perhaps will fix the problem (note that also creates a separated section for imports only). If this not solve the problem check what I've said about environmental variables. If still all fails please provide exact error output plus full or minimal code that is supposed to compile fine.

Yes, I had the .end CrypterMain on, but that was flagged down by fasm every time I tried to compile also. I'm working on the envir variable right now, I just got this computer a few hours ago. Vista 32-bit, everything works fine except when I try to compile programs.

-EDIT- I just attached the .end CrypterMain on, and for some reason it's working now. Thank you Loco, I will most likely have more questions that I will post here while I try to get the Rijndael cipher up and working.
