Hi,
I'm completely new to assembly and I'm using emu8086 to create my projects, I compiled my project to exe but when i tried to run it there was a message telling it cannot run under 64 bit windows.
How can I make a project run under 64 bit? Am I have to change my codes or assembly that I'm using?

this is the code I used:
CSS
; multi-segment executable file template.

data segment
    ; add your data here!
    pkey db "press any key...$"
ends

stack segment
    dw   128  dup(0)
ends

code segment
start:
; set segment registers:
    mov ax, data
    mov ds, ax
    mov es, ax

    mov ah, 0eh
    mov al,'M'
    int 10h

    lea dx, pkey
    mov ah, 9
    int 21h        ; output string at ds:dx

    ; wait for any key....
    mov ah, 1
    int 21h

    mov ax, 4c00h ; exit to operating system.
    int 21h
ends

end start ; set entry point and stop the assembler.



Thanks

This is old style 16-bit DOS code and will not run in a protected system. If you are running it within an emulator then check the emulator documentation for rules and restrictions.

It work in emulator but I want it to run after I compile it to exe, how can I do that?

Try compatibility mode. Right click the executable file and select Properties and then Compatibility. See if one of the earlier versions of Windows will do it.

It wont work again, I think it's a 16 bit program, and it will not work even on 32 bit, what should I do, Skipping assembly and work with c# maybe :D

I know it's a 16 bit program, as I explained above. I have no idea why you or anyone would be trying to run such ancient code on a modern Windows system, I was just offering suggestions as to how it might work. As to what you should do next, I have no idea, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve.
