Loop statement in assembly error

I've built an assembly program and when I try to loop a label, compile (with 0 errors) and execute, I get this error : 

    ntvdm cpu has encountered an illegal instruction

So I remove the code into the label, but i still get that error! And if I remove the loop statement, the program works

Haven't the loop statement the following sintax?

    mov  cx,5
    loop foo
    ;execute foo  5 times
Solution

  • Where's "foo"?

    Should be something like:

    mov cx,5
foo:
;do stuff
loop foo
