For ML 6.14 ... 10.0
Only JWasm needs the bold .686

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.686
.xmm

.code

start:   MsgBox 0, "Hello World", "Hi", MB_OK
   exit
   movups      xmm0, [esi]
end start

i thought the .MMX had to go before the .XMM

even with

           .686
           .mmx
           .xmm

i got undefined symbol :xmm0.

Has this something to do with Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 6.14.8444 ?

ohhhhhhhhhh
you are using masm version 6.14   :P

Where to get the new one, Dave ?

you can find 6.15 easily

http://win32assembly.programminghorizon.com/download.html (http://win32assembly.programminghorizon.com/download.html)

or you can d/l one of the visual studio express editions and extract the binaries
sent you a PM, Rui   :t

Ok, Dave, thank you so much  :t

occasionally, Jochen !
                The problem here is with ML 6.14 like Dave said before
               and i will try to solve it.

I had the same problem. Version 6.14.8444 comes with the current MASM32 package. That's the tricky thing.

There is no problem with 6.14, it will assemble your code
- either if you follow my scheme above (masm32rt.inc)
- or, if you insist to list the includes explicitly:

.686P
.model flat, stdcall                      ; 32 bit memory model
option casemap :none                      ; case sensitive
.xmm
The exact order is important. And don't forget the msvcrt.lib, which is of course included in the standard masm32rt.inc solution.

Hi Jochen,
                It seems i am doing what you say correctly.
                The problem is this:
                I am not able to assemble this instruction
               movups      xmm1, [esi+edx*8]                              
               I GET: instruction or register not accepted in current CPU mode.
                I dont know why.
:icon14:

Hi Rui,

Perhaps you could construct a little test piece with the order as shown above, and post the full code here?

With ML 6.15 even this will work:

;==============================================================================
include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.xmm
;==============================================================================
.data
    junk db 16 dup(0)
.code
;==============================================================================
start:
;==============================================================================
    lea esi, junk
    xor edx, edx
    movups xmm1, [esi+edx*8]
    inkey
    exit
;==============================================================================
end start

That won't work. Please check Daves links in the other thread.

I find out the problem   

The file where i have the macros
START_COUNTER_CYCLE_HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS
(written by MichaelW) and some data
and some procedures etc.
starts with .686 (i don't know why i put it there!).

So i have

   include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
   .xmm
   include macros.mac (starts with .686)

The result is what we know !
Now, my junk works fine (it seems).

Thank you Jochen
thank you also MichaelW

Hi MichaelW,
                    Now i know why i put .686 in that file.
                    If i use
                     START_COUNTER_CYCLE_HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS
                     i am not able to assemble it.
                     If i use .686 it assembles.
