I am going to take a stab at this and say you are trying to run 16bit DOS programs?  If so, 16bit apps cannot run on 64bit versions of Windows, you will need a DOS emulator like DOSBox.  Otherwise, what sample apps are you having trouble with?  NASM works fine on 32 and 64bit systems.

HI,
My system is windows 64 bit operating system, when I'm trying to execute sample nasm programs through command prompt it is giving error messages as compatibility issue... I wanted to ask here (http://www.losangelespersonalinjurylawyers.co/slip-and-fall-attorney/) because I dont know how to install 64 bit version. Please anybody help me I'm new to this. I really need this and don't know where to ask for help (http://www.losangelespersonalinjurylawyers.co).

I have the same exact problem.  What kind of error message are you getting?

If you have the exact same problem, you ought to know! :)

Seriously, guys, we need more information. What did you do? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?

If this is "the 16-bit problem", even I can't blame Microsoft for it. When we put the CPU in "long mode" (64-bit), "v86 mode" (which is what WinDOS has been running in for ages) is no longer available. Blame AMD, I guess, or perhaps the laws of physics. AFAIK, 32-bit programs should run in 64-bit Windows. That would include Nasm itself - I don't think we provide a 64-bit build of Nasm. There may be issues I'm not aware of. Tell us about it!

You should find 64-bit examples in the "Example Code" section (mostly thanks to Encryptor256 - Thanks!).

As "Number Five Is Alive" says... "need input", "need input"...

Best,
Frank
