I have this entire code in assembly for 8086, it has to chain a interrupt vector. The problem is that the interruption isn't pointing to this code im memory. I try to print a message just to test and it doesn't work. I don't know what to do anymore. Can anyone see the problem, I need this help. THANKS!

Is the program not working at all or just not as expected ?
Is PC working after execution or hangs ?

It's not working. it has to go resident and to do the interrup vector to point to my procedure.

To make DOS, and even some BIOS, calls from a TSR, you have to go to elaborate lengths to prevent the operating system from crashing. In particular, you need some DOS functions which Microsoft never officially documented until towards the end of MS-DOS's lifetime - although everybody knew they existed. Presumably the intention was to give Microsoft's own software an unfair advantage.

I can't remember all of them now, but some of the undocumented int 21h function calls you would need are 34h, 50h and 51h. Unfortunately, books about writing DOS TSR's are likely to be a bit thin on the ground in 2011.
