The only link option was "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS", I tried polink as well, with no success.

\masm32\bin\UAsm64 /c /coff %1
\masm32\bin\polink /Subsystem:Console %~n1.obj
%~n1.exe

Uasm64? Duh! I didn't know was 64 bit code. Was using 32 bit binaries. 
No wonder I was having issues. 


I'll return to this later, I'll grab 64 bit uasm then...   
Now you know why I tend to stick with code I know, and the binaries to assemble/link with. 

[jj2007]

Actually, it is 32-bit code, but UAsm is a fairly flexible program

Drag your asm source over the attached batch file.

A bit later, I'm outside at the moment enjoying the weather with the dogs...

Okay this test piece (code from reply #9) assemble and links without issue now, but crashes

Code Select Expand

Problem signature:
  Exception Code:   c000001d
  Exception Offset:   00001005

Seems to crash at "pcmpistri xmm0, OWORD ptr [eax], 1100b"
My cpu doesn't recognize that instruction? So, I gather that my computer cannot run the forum watcher program.

Thats exactly where ollydbg doesn't recognize the code sequence, either.
Therefor your test piece is not compatible with ollydbg 110.

[zedd151]

For thoroughness, I tested the other versions...
Okay, I tried out v.2 and v.3 which worked. 
But v. 4 worked but did not display the recent posts. Just The window which was blank.
Of course v. 5 is the one that would not run on my machine.  


two out of 4 ain't bad.

Now the mystery remains why cpuid doesn't deliver the right info on your machine. Can you please run the attached exe? It's just PrintCpu 1

Thanks. Damnit, that's correct. So why the hell does it not work for the proggie? One more bug chasing session

What could possibly need SSE4.2 to simply display a web page? Seems like overkill ...

The display of the website is still the job of Opera, Edge, Firefox, Chrome & friends...

Check the new version, it should work for you now.

I'm on the back porch on the iPad, gimme a few minutes...

The .htm file is fine, but ForumOld.txt and ForumNew.txt are empty. I have ran it several times. The display does not show anything.

That's a pity, sorry. I just checked with my XP VM, same problem: empty display

On Win7 and Win10 it works, but on Win10 the links don't open
