HL>I don't know TASM, but in MASM you have a .model directive to define the
HL>memory model. For basic it has to be the medium memory model. All data
HL>in the default data segment are near, that is accessible with an 16-bits
HL>offset only. In the compact and large memory models data memory is far,
HL>that is, to access it you have to provide an offset as well as a
HL>segment (together 32-bits). Maybe you use the wrong memory model.
Here's part of the .ASM file:
.386
.model medium,basic
vgroup  Group   _vesa
assume  ds:_vesa
_vesa   Segment
Vesa            label
  Attr                  DW 0
  WinAAttr              DB 0
