Most of them work for XP as I have tried them.

Except for the VxD tutorials which are for Windows 98.

They use MASM syntax, however. But as long as you understand/know what
you need to code, the assembler is not that important.

thx in advance

MadWizard.org has a few good tutorials in CHM format for beginners...

My site has a couple of links though no there is real stuff for
absolute beginners it has some example code in GoAsm syntax

www.assembler.ca

I agree that TASM may be a little outdated and you should think about
switching assemblers. An assembler is a pretty personal choice, you
have to find one that fits the way you like to code, there are a few
choices out there (in no particular order)

MASM -

GoAsm -

FASM -

NASM -

RosAsm -
http://www.rosasm.org/

All are free though MASM is for non-commercial use only according to
it's license. However, if you have your copy of MASM that comes with
Visual Studio you can bypass that issue. For example code and tutorials
MASM has far and away the largest library of example code and tutorials
and easily the largest user base. FASM is an excellent assembler and is
multi-platform. GoAsm and RosAsm are pretty much limited to the FLAT
model though GoAsm supports 64 bit where RosAsm does not.
