    An error "invalid combination of operands and opcodes"!!

    I am using Turbo c++ 3.0 ,
    I tried out asm code within my c++ program.

    I have the following error on compilation.
    Please help

    "Invalid combination of operands and opcodes"

    Obviously, the problem must be on line 42 (translation: post the offending code).
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    Code:
    asm {
    	push    ds           // save DS
    	push    es           // save ES
    	lds     si, [ptr1]   // set SI to offset of sprite
    	mov     ax, X        // set AX equal to X
    	mov     bx, Y        // set BX equal to Y
      }
    The bolded line shows the error!!
    Please help..

    This code is a part of the function used to place custom fonts on the 13h mode screen.


    Sorry for not posting the code earlier , I thought it was a complaint of the c++ compiler.

    What is this? ancient history?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
