Hey there. This is my first thread so please bear with me.

A few months ago, I first heard about Assembly language. I've worked with a few high level languages, but I'm still a novice with that.

Anyway, I just recently got flat assembler. From what I understand, there are many different kinds of assembly languages. I'm not 100% sure what kind I'm using.

So I made a little "Hello World" program. It should open up command prompt and show it, but no.

When I compile it, it saves it as a .COM file. Apparently, Windows 7 can't open it, as it is too old. Is there any way to make it an .exe file. Or should I get a new assembler altogether? Help is appreciated.
