A2155: cannot use 16-bit register with a 32-bit address

[bala_j]

Hi all,

can any one let me know what is wrong with the below code segment and why it is throwing A2155: cannot use 16-bit register with a 32-bit address.

[eek]

I dont do 32 bit stuff btw but

Lea si, double                   is double a dw or a db or a dd ?

    Mov cl, count               count is a db so mov cl,[count] ok...but if you're loading count
                                     as a pointer reference I think  mov cx,count may be better

    Mov al,[si]                    could be      mov al,b[si] methinks.(The BYTE at si)
                                      or whatever you 32bit-speak chaps do


You're mixing 8 bit apples and 16bit bananas into a bag for 32bit oranges here.

eek: look here - with all that masm32 stuff, don't know why it's in the 16-bit forum...
