It doesn't work on x64 because the first line has "extra characters on line", but it does work on 32 bit XP.

You have an extraneous "as 'img'" on your first line. Just delete that part so that the first line is "format binary".

That doesn't explain why it does work on one and doesn't on the other? It outputs the file as bootloader.img then. It's convenient and it works on 32bit.

Okay, I didn't realise what you were doing. But what do you mean by x64? I thought fasm only comes in 32bit versions?

Oh sorry.

I have Windows XP x64 edition and Windows XP 32 bit.

This code DOES compile on Windows XP 32, but doesn't on Windows XP x64 edition.

I'm using the same executable (same FASM), but for some reason it executes different on XP x64 edition than on 32bit XP.

That seems kinda weird Confused

I guess the only thing I can think of to check is that the version numbers etc. are really the same (anything below 1.67.22 doesn't have the 'as' operator). So assuming that the versions are the same, as you say, then it would seem to be a Windows issue??

I can't test here, I've only got Win32.

Ah, that ought to be it then.. I figured they were using the same version number, but the link I had on my desktop was outdated, I do have both, haha. I'm using 1.67.14 on Win x64. My bad.

Thanks. Smile
