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"

I do not have a solution to it due to which my project is getting delayed.

Please do help me. give me a possible solution.

Thanks in advance!

Obviously, the problem must be on line 42 (translation: post the offending code).

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.

I got it solved
I just changed the memory model to large and it got OK
I am happy

Thanks for the helping mentality...
