I just recently started using fasm and every time I try to change the graphics mode I get this error

Code:

___________________________________________________________
|16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem_______________________________[X]|
|                                                         |
| C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Test.COM                         |
| This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose    |
| 'Close' to terminate the application                    |
|                                                         |
|.........................................................|
|                            __________    ___________    |
|                           |  Close   |  |  Ignore   |   |
|_________________________________________________________|

Could have taken a screenshot, but I was bored and didn't feel like going to imageshack >.> Anyway, if I click ignore it pops up again and after the second time the program stops responding. My code:

Code:

ORG 100h
    mov ah,00
    mov al,18
    int 10h
;wait for keypress
    mov ah,00
    int 16h
quit:
    mov ah,00
    mov al,03
    int 10h
    mov ah,04ch
    mov al,00
    int 21h

I also tried putting user32 below the ORG command and it didn't fix anything. PC spec:

Code:

Model:  Dell Inspiron 9400
OS:     Window 7 32-bit

[/code]

DOS emulation from vista onwards won't support fullscreen DOS video modes. It's apparently a driver issue rather than windows...

Typical beginner mistake. Sad

Please download Windows version of FASM and test Windows examples only (hint: they usually begin with format PE and use32). Avoid org 100h or int 21h & Co.

How can you know just 3 hours after joining the forum ? Wrong, this had been already whined 1'000'000'000'000 times Wink

1. It's use32 not user32
2. It's nonsense anyway, you need full Win32 code, not just use32 patched into DOS code
3. Forget "drivers" and pick proper examples Wink

Thanks. I was wondering what the format PE command did. I tried several examples and each one always came up with the same error, that's why I titled the thread, "Strange error no one else seems to be having". Also, I meant to say use32 Razz
