While trying to program my project for my Assembly class, I have run into a strange error. I know it's just my machine, because the program compiles fine on any other machine. I get the following error<br />
<br />
C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.ex<wbr />e - nasm16 -f obj dvideo.asm -o dvideo.obj<br />
C:\WINDOWS\System32\AUTOEX<wbr />EC.NT . The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose Close to terminate application.<br />
<br />
I tried using command.com instead of cmd.exe as my DOS prompt and got this same message. Maybe this is more of an OS problem but I thought maybe some of you Assembly guys might know something as well. When I compile on another machine and the exe produced after linking works, I try to run it on my machine getting the same error. Any clues?

Can not compile 16-bit Assembly using nasm on WinXP Pro or run 16-bit Apps

An assembly language (or assembler language) is a low-level programming language for a computer or other programmable device in which there is a very strong (generally one-to-one) correspondence between the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. Each assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture, in contrast to most high-level programming languages, which are generally portable across multiple architectures, but require interpreting or compiling. Assembly language is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler; the conversion process is referred to as assembly, or assembling the code.
