  What assembler are you using?

  If it is NASM, you have a syntax error;  It should be

  mov ax, [number1]

  If it is MASM (or some MASM compatible assembler) then
the syntax is OK and either you have an ASSUME wrong or
the contents of the ASSUME'd segment register are wrong.

(I just noticed what other newsgroups this is going to, so
I guess you are using TASM in a MASM compatible mode and
you can ignore my NASM answer).
