even with this if I/o doesn't work doesn't matter also

If nothing else helps, try your luck with the RichMasm IDE. It is set up to run most if not all Masm32 examples by simply pressing F6.

if I/O is down like it acts like it won't matter it won't work anyone know how to fix the I/O register of and intel chip ?

[jj2007]

Your OS would not even say blurp! if I/O was down on the chip...

you must understand that we have been through this countless times with other n00bs   :bg
95% of the time, it is a setup issue
the other 5%, it is the code
so, if you have it set up as we suggested
and you are assembling a program we know assembles
it will probably work

[roddym]

well obviously you haven't had the situation and data I've shown you as you don't know how to use it... I did the file as said by you the .res can't be done as it can't be accessed the build part works but the file says it's not win32  also when I get errors it says can't access the files I get a write error in a math program that I use ( which can write to disk) I'm an admin so unless windows 7 doesn't let you alter files with code I'm stumped unless it's the new version of avast I have. or an i/o partial failure.

roddym,

If you are not willing to tell us the minimum to answer your questions perhaps you should be trying to use something else that is simple enough for you to understand. If you computer is not configured correctly, fix it and then try and install the software. members here go out of their way to help new programmers but they are not here to have their time wasted.

I'm on a compaq presario SR2050NX(added ram) ( best I've done with any assembler is no codes like mov or include statement or anything like that(aka blank slate lol))

I'm on windows 7

.386
.model small
.data
.code
start:
end start

nope nothing works for me , even in a math program that can write to file I can't open a a file for writing(i/o disabled by virus ?(or my own idiocy?)) so that stops that

dedndave the error I get is it can't open the .asm file but unless I've affected the i/o structure of my pc( or a virus) that shouldn't affect a math program totally unrelated to masm as for code I've posted all the code I've tried.

.386
.model small,STDCALL
.data
.code
start:
mov eax,32h
end start

I'm not trying to waste time it's masm32 v 4.0 . I let it install itself so if it's not installed right I don't understand it. 
OS = win 7
I've got the code you gave me assembling using almost any combo now my problem is it comes up with <filename> is not a valid win32 application and that if I select compile resource file it come to an error I posted earlier about how it can't gain access to it. this fits all her necessaries if she can't help me now I start lowering iq's!

[qWord]

it must be
.model flat,STDCALL
also a ret befor end start is missing

[roddym]

the ret I don't know how to write and I've tried the flat change still came up with ... is not a valid win32 application.

THANK YOU without the last 2 lines I saw in the post it doesn't give me an error now can you help me through hello world( seen many variants online)

[qWord]

it's masm32 v 4.0

you should install version 10 - that's make live easier.

I can't find masm in my uninstall list how do i get the old version off

[qWord]

simply delete(or rename) the masm32-folder
