It's very hard for me to code in asm, because every sample code, even t
he
smallest, dont work for me;) eg:
i want to use 4eh and 4fh functions to find files and compiler throws
error
in:

Download NASM and start with a simple "Hello World" program. I
suppose such a simple DOS demo is included in the NASM package.
If this works, you can add more complicated code. If you have
a problem compiling the NASM source, Frank surely can help you.

Ok I'll try to use NASM.
But what with this "error A2022: instruction operands must be the same
size" whats wrong here?

you are trying to assemble is as 32-bit code.

so it is, your code is valid, for dos, or dos emulation.
it is not valid, for native 32-bit code.

decide your path.

dos code will simply not work right in 32 bit mode, you would need to find
new example apps...

(or stick to something like C or C++...).
