In 32-bit protected mode, segments are not used and are therefore
unnecessary.  I think you should post the entire fragment of assembly
that causes the error messages, because if you are doing this it's
likely you are doing other things which are illegal in DPMI.

I could be wrong though, because I don't know much assembly.  :)
