I'm new to assembly language and the VS2005 environment. When I wrote a simple program as follows:

.386 
.model flat,stdcall 
.stack 100h 
.code 
start: 
mov ah,1 
int 21h 
end start 

The compilation and linkage all passed well, but at runtime a dialogbox displayed: "filename.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

No difference is made when "mov ah,1
int 21h" is changed to any other code.

Can anybody help me?

What are you expecting to have happen?

You are not telling it to do anything.

Start, read, stop.

Try adding a data section & using some generic (stdout) output, like a hello world program.
