You would be more likely to get a useful answer if you would comment your code so we could know what you are trying to do.
Assuming you are running your program from a prompt, the reason you are not seeing the output is that the final mode set is erasing the display memory. Learning to find problems in you code is part of learning to program. You could have discovered this problem by commenting out all of the BIOS calls and building and running the program. You would have discovered that everything except the colors worked, and you could then uncomment the BIOS calls, one at a time, and build and run the program after each change. Then, after a maximum of four tries you would have known what the problem was.
Also, your mode set is failing because 98 is not a standard VGA mode. I can only guess at what mode you are trying to set, but you should be aware that the DOS display functions are unlikely to work for the graphics modes.
Also, I have been neglecting to ask what the ORG statements in your data segment are for. MASM will allocate the correct amount of memory for your data without these statements. And because these statements override MASM's data allocation mechanism, if you get the offset addresses wrong you could overwrite one data item with another.
sorry for the lack of comment.anyway i've got everything solved.thanks for your hints.
