it looks like MsgBoxCaption and/or MsgBoxText are labels that are already in use
try changing the names a little so they are unique to your program

Code Select Expand

MBoxCaption1 db "This is a simple messagebox",0
MBoxText1    db "Xin chao !",0

usually, when you have a long list of errors like that, look at the first few
quite often, fixing the earlier error(s) eliminates many of the other error messages   :U
in this case, the very first one tells you what the problem is

good eye, Aker - lol   :U

you should install the masm32 package, and use the assembler that comes with it
perhaps your old assembler is in the PATH environment variable and the \masm32\bin folder is not

You can't include library files like this

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\lib\user32.lib
include \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

You want this

Code Select Expand

includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

Good eye, clive - lol :U

[dedndave]

 :bg
or, you can do as most of us do.....

Code Select Expand

        include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
that file has most of the commonly used includes and includelibs
as an alternative, open that file and copy/paste all the stuff out of it

edit - that will prevent typos, at least
and things like - you have the include for msvcrt, but not the library

(good eye, Dave - lol)

[oex]

or indeed use the uselib macro

ie

uselib user32, kernel32

I solved it   :wink , thks very much to everybody  :dance:
