> Hi, all. DJGPP and NASM worked perfect until I downloaded Xp service pack 2 and the updated security files. Now I keep getting this error (no matter which asm file I use):

The traceback indicates that this nasm.exe was built with a very old
version of DJGPP.  Old evrsions of DJGPP have known problems with W2K
and XP systems, so I suggest to install a newer version of NASM.
